When Cheryl was a teenager, her older sister moved back home with a baby and a mental illness. That’s what shifted Cheryl’s life from spoiled youngest to ignored middle child—while her parents struggled to care for their grandson and their oldest, who would later get a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

Feeling neglected, Cheryl looked for love elsewhere and found herself pregnant. Not wanting to add stress to her home, she chose abortion—and felt justified.

Feeling just fine, Cheryl married and became career-focused until her dead baby’s father chose divorce.

With no intention of marrying, Cheryl began dating and met and married a man who did not condemn her for her abortion, despite his conservative leanings.

Then Cheryl was tested again by schizophrenia, this time her brother’s. How did she respond the second time she was tested by schizophrenia? the third?

During this test, she shared her abortion story publicly. How did Christians respond to her story?

In this raw memoir, you’ll encounter abortion, divorce, mental illness, homelessness, career identity crisis, uninvited judgment, and really good music.

Step into Cheryl’s shoes as she walks through her life tests, learning not just to survive, not just to strive, but to thrive despite heartbreaking circumstances.
