The Book

IF MY TRUTH BE TOLD (working title) is about a successful-appearing adult held captive by a tumultuous childhood who takes up the journey to release her secret demon and free her authentic self. Snakes, fires, floods, and childhood trauma color her days. Fans of Bessel van der Kolk’s, Body Keeps the Score, or Stephanie Foo’s What My Bones Know, will appreciate the triumph and dogged determination of this protagonist. Anyone touched by CPTSD, or who grew up defined by silence, pain, and father-daughter conflict, will find inspiration and hope. An epic story of harvesting strength from adversity to find deep happiness…

Quotes from Dr. Cheryl

  • I watched the scaley, brown-colored diamonds slide through one after another.

  • Eden, my eyes drank it in and I carried it in my heart forever.

  • I carried a cock-eyed, Bible-informed view of women's role in love and society, as useless as snowshoes in Morocco or hives on a honeymoon.

  • I couldn't count on either one in the future. I'd have to save myself.

  • I went on, convinced that I was chosen. For what I didn't know.

  • Information is always for sale; wisdom is given freely.
