Sharon Springs Graduate and Former Athlete Authors Inspiring Book Based on Son's Health Struggles

Jyline Varin, an alumnus of Sharon Springs Central School (SSCS), has authored a children's book. The book was inspired by her son's health issues, including a congenital heart defect. Varin's son's ability to overcome these health challenges motivated her to write the book, with the aim of supporting other parents in similar situations.

The book, 'The Little Blue Lion,' has been featured on WTEN Channel 10 news and has received positive feedback on Amazon.com. A reviewer, Yorke, appreciated the book for its appeal to both children and parents. He also noted the book's emphasis on the child's strength and the parents' hope and love.

Varin demonstrated similar resilience during her time as a student-athlete at SSCS. She played a significant role in the Spartans' successful 2008 season. Despite an ACL injury in her final soccer game, Varin chose not to have surgery to continue playing basketball. Yorke, the principal, remembered her as a dedicated player who motivated her teammates.

Yorke expressed his admiration for Varin's accomplishments as a student-athlete and a mother. He hopes that Varin will return to SSCS to share her family's story with the students. He acknowledged Varin's resilience and her son's strength.

'The Little Blue Lion' can be purchased on Amazon.com. The book is a reflection of Varin's and her son's resilience and serves as a source of hope for families dealing with similar health issues.
