Lisa Hendey shares a conversation with novelist and Catholic Mom contributor Andrea Bear about her new work of fiction Grieving Daughters Club.  

Andrea Bear believes that learning life lessons are easier to digest when presented in the form of a story. Feeling the call to write about her grief journey after losing her mother to brain cancer in 2018, she created the Grieving Daughters’ Club to share the experiences some face after loss, tucking a little bit of herself and her lessons into each character. She is already working on the second book of a three-part series. In addition, she is a journalist for HERLIFE Magazine, contributing writer for www.catholicmom.com, and queenofpedia.com She is also a high school history teacher in Stockton, California. When she’s not writing or teaching she is shuffling one of her three daughters to volleyball practice or relaxing at a local Lodi vineyard with her husband. To read more about her work check out her website at www.andreabearauthor.com.
