Sheryle courageously shares true events, her own stories, and stories she has heard to provoke thought and inspire action. Throughout this book, Sheryle emphasizes that her truth may differ from others, yet it is through these diverse perspectives that growth and transformation can occur. It is her earnest desire that this book catalyzes awareness, empathy, and acceptance-an urgent call to action for building a more compassionate and harmonious world.
