JANET SHERLUND raised her family and served on nonprofit boards in education, health and the cultural arts before writing her memoir, Abandoned at Birth. Her single most significant life event was being given up for adoption at birth. Being adopted undermined her sense of trust and personal value and impacted every decision she made. It also led to a lifelong quest to find her biological mother, with the hope of finally feeling a tether to this world, a sense of belonging and ultimately, herself. Her memoir fulfills a lifelong dream of raising awareness about loss and grief in adoption, and why it takes more than love to survive that trauma. A graduate of ColgateUniversity, Sherlund

lives on the island of Nantucket off the coast of Massachusetts.

Darlene Greene, co-author of the book Echoes of Grace and Strength – Real Life Stories of Women’s transformation and Triumph, survived and learned to thrive following the trauma of two narcissistic husbands. Questioning how she could be so duped in love and yet smart and savvy at work, the retired Navy

Commander overcame the most significant obstacles in her life, her first two marriages, to thrive in executive leadership and senior management positions across diverse industries, including positions such as: Three Commanding Officer positions in the Navy, Vice President of Strategic Technology Partner at McAfee (Intel), Dean of Culver Girls Academy, Director of Client Services for HyeTech Networks and Security, and Senior Director for a Foundational Cell Activation Technology Company.

Perhaps more importantly, she finally learned the wisdom of her animal brain, to trust her instincts, and found a rare and perfect love and marriage to her current husband. When that husband was diagnosed with Early Alzheimer’s, she channeled her energies into helping him and others elevate their GHK-CU peptide to activate their master foundational cells, repair their DNA, reverse age, and get out of pain through the latest photo biomodulation technology.
