Each time Mom cried, the Lancaster family knew what would happen next: a move to somewhere new.

Each time Mom cried, the Lancaster family knew what would happen next: a move to somewhere new. By the time Sherrie was ten, roaming with Mom had led to seventeen moves--until the day Mom cried as she walked away and abandoned her children. Sherrie's wandering then began and continued through eighteen more moves until her high school graduation. Her one saving grace was the couple who came to her rescue and saved her over and over. As Sherrie tried to find what she'd lost, the convoluted path of her life was filled with bus stations, country-western music, soul-killing indifference, and the unlikeliest of characters--vividly complex, daring, and with deeply flawed personalities. At twenty-two, Sherrie revisited what should have been the Lancasters' forever home. It looked just as she remembered, except for a crack in the fireplace wall. That crack added character to the wall, yet she knew the crack caused by moving and abandonment had destroyed her family. It was up to her to rebuild her life. Sherrie Lancaster's story is powerful and painfully honest as she shows us what it took to feel whole again.
Autorenporträt
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.
