Author Peter Sarno with dark hair and light skin is outdoors, with green trees in the background. He is wearing a blue collared shirt and looks directly at the camera.

Hello and Welcome!

I'm Peter, author of Visions of Johanna, "Invitations", and A River of Memory. Fascinated by the "why" behind a person's actions, I write stories about resilience and the quiet, often messy, process of healing from difficult pasts. 

Thank you for taking the time to browse my site,

Peter

“Sarno explores many heavy and formidable topics, but he does so with sensitivity, delicacy, and grace.”
