From the Shadows of my Soul

"Sharmaine Anna Dobson has done it again! She has written another inspirational story of hope and transformation. As in 'From Tears to Triumph', Sharmaine has skilfully stepped into the shoes of an eclectic range of courageous folk and she has given each a voice. 'From the Shadows of My Soul' is a book to honour everyday heroes who have overcome extraordinary circumstances in their lives. It is a collection of poems, stories and artwork that authentically and tenderly depicts people's hurts and pain, showing that darkness and pain can indeed become enlightenment and freedom." Georgina Jardine.

As a child, Sharmaine would write poetry and put her many musings on paper. She loved to dream, words would flow, poems would ooze out of the young child, but most were kept to herself. Not until the 2000's did Sharmaine bring herself to start painting, simply as a way to put on canvas, all that she was seeing and feeling in this world. As each stroke hit it's mark, her soul was emptied out and she could breathe again. In 2014, Sharmaine wrote a notelet called 'A Cry Beneath the African Sky' - an ode to her homeland, and a place that dwells within her heart. This was also the year that she published 'Let the Rain Fall' which was sung by the talented Jack Casey. Later that year she would write her first book, 'From Tears to Triumph', and record an audio CD of poetry, prose and devotionals, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Sharmaine is now an integral part of SparkleMoon Publishing, of which she is thrilled. She also published 'George's World, Where is my Dad?' in 2018, the first in a series of a young boy who grows into a teen and faces many challenges. Dr Sharmaine Anna Dobson, has a Masters in Counselling and is immersed both in Counselling and in Ministry, as the Lord allows. She has a wonderful husband, Dr George Dobson, and two great children, Anthony and Kerry-Lee. Sharmaine has several wonderful grandchildren, who light up her life!
