Liesl Schuh

Liesl “Darr” Schuh (pronounced LEE-SUL SHOE) is a San Antonio, Texas native, and

a mother of three daughters alongside her husband, Stephen. Schuh is a first-time

author and former public relations professional. She is a graduate of Texas Tech

University, where she received a bachelor’s degree in Public Relations. While

attending Texas Tech, Schuh met her husband Stephen, and they married in 2013.

While growing up in Texas, Schuh’s upbringing was rooted in faith, family and

friendships. She carried these with her into adulthood, where, when faced with

challenges, she would lean on those around her. Losing herself along the way,

Schuh struggled with addiction, and entered treatment in Spring 2015. She has

since been sober and is in recovery. She remains fully aware that had she not

gone through the suffering that she did, the life she has today would not have

been possible. Her life experiences serve as a source of support for others

struggling.

As her first written and self-published book, The Girl Dad is the celebration of the

hope that can come from doing the hard work. From addiction to author, for Liesl,

the future is bright, and the blessings are bountiful.

The Girl Dad is Schuh’s first foray into writing and publishing children’s books, and

she plans to continue writing a series in this genre in the future. The Girl Dad is

inspired by Schuh’s own relationship with her father, as well as inspired by her

husband’s relationship with their three young daughters.
