Chiara Sandri is a practicing Catholic, a wife, a mother, an author/illustrator and a pharmacist. She was born and raised in Italy, where she graduated in Pharmacy School and subsequently earned a Master in Bioethics. After working as a pharmacist for several years in Italy, she moved to the United States with her family, where she became a California Licensed Pharmacist. The teachings received during the years of the Master in Bioethics have confirmed and strengthened her scientific, ethical and religious belief that every human life has to be respected and cherished from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. In recent years, her innate passion for writing and drawing has led her to create and publish fiction and early learning books for children. “With Every Beat of My Heart” is her first Christian non-fiction book for families, a voyage into the miracle of the creation of every new human life. She currently lives in Maryland with her husband and their three children. She volunteers as Treasurer at Frederick County Right To Life, for which she also designs pro-life educational material. Her favorite time is the one spent with her family, her source of infinite joy. Each day she is deeply grateful to God for every single blessing in her life, even for the hard days, during which she can experience even more His neverending love, help, support, forgiveness and mercy.
