Sarah Ban Breathnach (pronounced "Bon Brannock"), is a best-selling author, philanthropist and public speaker.
Her first ambition was to become an actress and at age 25 she moved to London to pursue this career while working as a secretary.
While recovering from a head injury she developed an interest in some Victorian-era magazines, and this led to the publication in 1990 of Mrs Sharp's Traditions and two years later in The Victorian Nursery Companion.
[3][4] Also in 1995, Ban Breathnach founded the Simple Abundance Charitable Fund, which has aided over 100 non-profit organizations by awarding over $1 million in financial support.
[citation needed] Ban Breathnach started the Simple Abundance Press in 1998 with the intent of issuing books in the spirituality and life style market under it.
