Personal life

Evans was born on December 1, 1943, in McCormick, South Carolina. [2] Her father was a Methodist minister; she described her mother as "a radical egalitarian in her bones." [11]

Evans and the writer Harry C. Boyte were wed on June 5, 1966. [4] She took the married name Sara Evans Boyte for several years, including for the publication of her children's picture book Jenny's Secret Place (1970), the first book printed by Lollipop Power. [3] However, she reverted to her maiden name in 1974 before publishing her dissertation "because," she said, "I was married to a published writer and I wanted what I wrote to be mine and to stand on its own." [3] [2] Together, Evans and Boyte co-wrote the book Free Spaces: Sources of Democratic Change in America (1986). [12] They had two children and divorced in 1994. [13] [1]
