After fifty-two years in the workforce, Sherrie Lancaster retired just in time for the COVID-19 lockdown. Although staying home was wonderful, she soon realized she had retired to clean house and not to take her dream vacation. So she dusted off her first dream-the manuscript she needed to turn into a book to reach those who need its message.From an early age, Sherrie knew she had to write this story because she never stopped thinking about her unusual childhood. It was great to think about the kid-perfect places where she lived back in Idaho, but those times kept interfering. She considered that maybe-by writing it all down-she would become the owner of her heart instead of those childhood events continuing to own her. When Sherrie began writing, she struggled to put together an engaging sentence, but after twenty years of writing and rewriting, she finally learned how to craft and tell her story.Sherrie Lancaster lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, with her son Samuel. She sincerely hopes that Cracks of Destruction will help others as much as it helped her by writing it.
