This author is not just a writer and a best seller but a mother too. The parent to three children, she wrote her first book long before they showed up when she was just ten years old. The publishers did not really want that much of a part of her first work, but she did send the publishers that rejected her a letter on stationary when they did not have interest in her work.

She has had her work featured in a variety of publications. USA Today, People, The New Republic, Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun, Washingtonian, and more have all seen her stories featured. It was of course a dream come true when she was able to become a writer in earnest after dreaming about it when she was young and now her debut novel has been out since 2010 and it has been full steam ahead ever since for this author, who has written several more books after her first one.

In addition to being an author of novels, Sarah writes for Bethesda Magazine with her monthly column. She has also been a contributor on the air to National Public Radio as well as the Gossip Show on E! Entertainment. Sarah has won a Dateline Award and has also been the recipient of a fellowship from Paul Miller Reporting.

She currently lives in Maryland with her family. Her three sons and her husband live with her there in Chevy Chase.

The Opposite of Me is the debut fictional novel from author Sarah Pekkanen. Readers get to meet the main character of Lindsey Rose in this premiere story, a woman that is twenty-nine years of age.

For as far back as Lindsey Rose can recall, she has lived in someone else’s shadow. That person would be her twin sister, who just so happens to be incredibly beautiful. To the level that people hold movie stars too. She has always been the twin that has kept to the back and stayed out of the spotlight. Alex was always the one that stole the show.

Lindsey cannot wait her entire life just to be noticed. Alex was the twin that got all of the admiration and praise growing up, but Lindsey wants to be noticed too. She is on the verge of being named the vice president creative director for an advertising agency in New York that is nothing short of elite.

She has been doing everything that she can to get ahead and knows that they don’t just give positions away. You have to show that you are willing to put in the work and even throw your life on hold in order to be worthy of being promoted. She has been working so hard, putting in eighty hours’ worth of week and more, dealing with fatigue and migraines, and ruing the fact that she has no real personal life of her own.

It’s a lonely way to live, but Lindsey really wants her career to take off. Then she will be the one twin that is getting all of the success and the attention at last. Then it all comes tumbling down after one night happens that devastates her to the core. That is when Lindsey’s life that has been so carefully put together blows up from the inside out.

She is humiliated and feels that she has no choice but to get out of Manhattan. So instead of flying high on her own wings, she’s back in time, staying at the home of her parents in Maryland. The timing could not be worse, as her twin has found the love of her life and is busy in the middle of planning her wedding.

Lindsey does not know what to do in the middle of a crisis that she never saw coming. She always thought of herself as the practical and smart twin, the one that was responsible to a fault. She has been trying to put the pieces of her broken career together again, but things are about to get even more complex.
