“A true comedienne - pithy, winsome, and able to deliver with right-on timing.”
In Dr. Pearson ... Sara remembers losing it, him, her, that!

Be Careful What You Wish For
“Tough with a fey streak, maybe gifted with strange powers.”
In Be Careful What You Wish For, Pearson excavates levels of desire to dig beneath the surface of what one thinks one wants, and examines what was left undone from her earlier solo, Dr. Pearson’s Guide to Loss and Fear.
