A true blue Texas girl, Cheryl lives in the serenity of the hill country near Austin. During some of life's challenges, Cheryl discovered how faithful God is in His abounding love. Through this process grew a love for other women who have unearthed God's strength to move forward in His way. For Cheryl, the best part of writing inspirational historical fiction is the anticipation of what is to come-standing beside women from another era who meet the challenges of a complicated life journey by discovering the joy of living close to God. It does her soul good to be surrounded by the laughter of loved ones, an empty plate of southern home-cooking, and a page of perfectly orchestrated words powerful enough to transform the way we see the world.
