Book Description

Currently working on a memoir, hoping to publish in the near term. Story of the many times told difficult mother-daughter relationship. The difference lies in the impact the mother's childhood unknowingly has on her ability to parent. Her children see her as abusive, both emotionally and verbally, and yet witness her kindnesses to others in the family and community. The continuing question: Why? Later in life, the daughter learns she must move her mother 2200 miles across the country and care for her, the woman she has grown to hate but loves because of the mother bond. Through this last act of caring, forgiveness and grace are shown between the two women without uttering words.

Author bio

A retired legal secretary, Sherrey Meyer grew tired of drafting and revising pleadings and legal documents. She had always dreamed of writing something else, anything else! Once she retired she couldn’t stay away from the computer, and so she began to write. Among her projects is a memoir of her “life with mama,” an intriguing Southern tale of matriarchal power and control displayed in verbal and emotional abuse.

Favorite Quote or Personal Motto

“Remember that you own what happened to you. If your childhood was less than ideal, you may have been raised thinking that if you told the truth about what really went on in your family, a long bony white finger would emerge from a cloud and point to you, while a chilling voice thundered, "We *told* you not to tell." But that was then. Just put down on paper everything you can remember now about your parents and siblings and relatives and neighbors, and we will deal with libel later on.” —Anne Lamott
