The story of
Sara Fay Tarlin
Sara-Fay Tarlin was the oldest daughter who grew up in a loving, warm family in Brookline, Massachusetts. She graduated from Boston University in 1959 with a B.S. in Elentary Education.After graduation, she taught the second grade in Foxboro, Mass. for three years. However, at that time, women were not allowing to teach once they became pregnant, so she retired when she got married. She and her husband adopted two delightful children.
She returned to school and received a Master’s degree and later a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in School Psychology. She became an active member of the Massachusetts School Psychologists Association and The National Association of School Psychologists. She was named the Massachusetts School Psychologist of the year and received a Lifetime Achievement Award because of her work as chairman of the Legislative Committee, which led to the licensure of School Psychologists in Massachusetts.
Sara-Fay is a very active person. She never says goodbye to her friends, and always says “until next time”. She remains friends with many people from the first grade throughout college and colleagues.
"I wrote this memoir to give my daughter the voice she was denied—and to remind the world that silence is never justice."
