"Faith, Family, Friends, and Fried Chicken" is Sherry-Marie's big debut. Sherry was advised for years to write her story. Now, in a style of storytelling that Sherry laughingly describes as "Erma Bombeck meets Joel Osteen, and they have dinner together", comes her memoir, which circles around four instrumental influences in her existence: Faith, Family, Friends, and her love for Southern comfort food.
Sherry shares her heartwarming story and sincere expression of American family life intertwined with her family's and friends' recipes. From biscuits with "chocolate gravy" to Banana Croquettes, to Kentucky Blackberry Jam Cake, Chocolate Lust, Sherry-Marie's Spaghetti Salad; Bethany's Chicken Enchiladas; Ammanda Faith's Flag Cake; Kick the Can Ice Cream Applesauce Meatballs, just to name a few of the old, Southern family recipes readers can indulge in from Sherry's Southern roots.
Some of the people you will meet in the Trilogy.

I know I've missed so many opportunities to dance. I'm going to try to remember to find joy in this journey along with the pain...Bless You! S.A., Moore, OK
*I just read "Faith, Family, Friends and Fried Chicken". Although she tells of the disappointment, loss, heartbreak & tragedy she has endured throughout her life, the focus of the book is exactly what the title implies. Sherry's is not a story dwelling on sadness, but one of a woman who always finds strength through her trust in God, never takes her blessings for granted, loves every minute of every day & never loses her sense of humor "some days you are the bug and some days you are the windshield". I found it very inspirational & surely will be gaining a few pounds trying out her family recipes! Love you sooo much Sherry! L.D., Ennis, TX

*I've just finished the second book and loved it. Although it is different than the first, it is just as good. I found myself laughing and then sniffling.

EVERYONE should read this book! T.N., Beaverton, OR
