About the Author

Sharon Leder taught English, women's studies, and Jewish studies on several campuses of the State University of New York before beginning the second half of her life as a fiction writer and poet. As a teacher, she wrote books and articles on women writers, on the literature of the Holocaust, and on women in academia. An earlier draft of her novel, "The Fix," was a finalist in Merrimack Media's Outstanding Writer Award (2015). Leder resides on Cape Cod with her husband, artist and author Milton Teichman, and together they run The Teichman Art Gallery. Sharon has been inspired by the writings of other Jewish authors such as Philip Roth, Sholem Aleichem, Anzia Yezierska, Johanna Kaplan, and Myla Goldberg.

Reviews

"...a moving coming-of-age story of a young Jewish girl trying to figure out who her father really was, despite his flaws. Even though the novel is set in the 1950s and '60s, it has never been more relevant than it is today."-- (06/06/2017)

"...It is...a snapshot in time that reproduces an era, namely that of first- and second-generation Jewish Americans in the post-War era. At the same time, it is a grimly accurate depiction of the twin diseases of addiction and codependence as told by the daughter of a Jewish heroin addict."-- (05/03/2017)

"The Fix is extraordinary in its depiction of the havoc that addiction of any sort wreaks on the entire family. [...] This novel has a deep ring of truth and not only because of its compelling writing. [...] In this way, the novel combines powerful childhood emotions channeled into adult insights. [...] The Fix has a message of hope and endurance and ultimate triumph..."-- (07/14/2017)
