Hi, I'm Shari!


Over the last decade of writing more than thirty novels, I have found  a deep passion for Women's Fiction, and Historical Fiction, with a focus on the history of World War Two.


Writing is more than a passion for me; It's my way of expression and connecting with others. I thrive to share each and every feeling I experience while creating stories with each reader who picks up one of my books.

The Doctor's Daughter

Auschwitz, 1941: It was her father’s job to save the lives of the SS. But she chose to risk everything and save the lives of prisoners.


In Nazi-occupied Poland, Sofia cannot look her father in the eye. Sofia’s mother, her papa’s cherished wife, is Jewish—how dare he work as a doctor for the SS? She cannot forgive him, even if the bargain was made to spare their lives.


In the middle of the night, Isaac emerges from a packed train with hundreds of others. Beneath Auschwitz’s barbed wire, soldiers surround them, and gunshots pierce the dark sky. The SS decide prisoners’ fates on the spot—and Isaac is chosen to work, rather than to die.


Every day, Isaac and his fellow inmates are sent to a nearby farm. From sunup to sundown, they toil the land with barely a scrap to eat. Every breath feels like it could be Isaac’s last, so when he sees a beautiful auburn-haired girl peering out of the farmhouse window, it feels like a dream…


Sofia refuses to accept what she is seeing. Disobeying her father and evading the guards, she risks her life to sneak a letter to the green-eyed boy outside. She explains that she has hidden them food, and that she’ll do everything in her power to save them.


This secret exchange sparks an escape that should have been impossible—and a love story that is unforgettable. But is love enough in the face of evil? And when Sofia and Isaac are concealed underground, holding their breath as the Nazis hunt them, will they survive?


Fans of The Choice, and Orphan Train will be utterly gripped by this heartbreaking and unputdownable tale. This tear-jerking page-turner shows that even if your freedom has been robbed, and your loved ones torn from you, nobody can steal your hope…

The Perfect Nanny by Shari J. Ryan
by Shari J. Ryan 09 Nov, 2023
“My baby! You stole my baby!” Lara Smith is hysterical, her red lipstick smeared. A teddy lies abandoned in the empty crib. But I didn’t know the Smiths had a baby. I didn’t even know this nursery existed… Lara’s husband - deathly white - dials 911 and says: “The babysitter has taken our little girl.” I’m in shock. This is impossible. Because earlier this evening when the Smiths left for their fancy charity gala - Lara in high heels and a floor-length gown, Corbin in a tux - they never mentioned a baby. And they certainly didn’t show me this nursery room, up in the eaves of their sprawling, beachfront mansion. The Smiths only hired me to take care of their nine-year-old twins, now blinking at me in matching horror. As I’m taken away in handcuffs, I try to swallow my terror. Because my being here is no coincidence. When my own darkest secret is spilled, will anyone believe I’m innocent? And who is really in danger: This perfect couple? Their missing child? Or me?
