Sherrie Riley
A Memoir of Fierceness & Folly
The chronicle of the life of author Sherrie Riley, a passionate traveler and mother of nine children she considers her “greatest accomplishment.” A lifelong writer, in her first book she documents her life events with a tinge of sarcasm: her marriage at age 16, earning high school and college degrees while taking care of her growing family, and her frequent trips to Europe and New York City with musician and writer husband Eddie Shaw.
