BIOGRAPHY
Sarah Metts is a writer, history teacher, and aspiring Spanish historian. Her love of Spain—its culture, history, and traditions began when she visited her mother's family there as a young girl. Over the years she has fallen more and more in love with Spain—with the artwork, the magnificent old churches, the flamenco, and the warmth and character of the Spanish people.
Sarah's father told her stories about the martyrs of the Spanish Civil War and she wrote her undergraduate thesis about the war. However, it wasn't until her grandmother passed away in 2016 while Sarah was living in Madrid that she began to learn more about what life was like for ordinary Spaniards in the years leading up to 1936.
