Lisa Sachs

Lisa Sachs grew up in New York and lives in Illinois with her husband. She was a social worker in the Chicago area for over 25 years and that background informs her writing. After listening to her clients' stories for all that time, Lisa decided to write about some of them. Doing that she found her own voice. In Breaking the Fall and other stories that she has written, Lisa gives us a peek into the lives of people who live in our midst but are often invisible.
