Author Sherry Moore is a true talent among talents. Her newest venture, Shadows of the Past, is an engulfing tale of a woman who faces the tribulations that no person should confront. A story of self-discovery and courage, you find yourself compelled to continue on so that you can find out ‘what happens next’. It was a book that I couldn’t put down, no matter how late the hour became. Sherry artfully builds characters that you find yourself not only drawn to, but relate to – sometimes in ways that you wouldn’t expect. Her book has depth and profound insight into to the power that we have and don’t realize. A must read for any woman that I know! Sherry is a rare find and Shadows of the Past reflects a true treasure.

Jason's #16 Dream is full of love, compassion, trust, and heart. It is beautifully written and brings home a very important point; when a door closes, a window always opens. As the mother of a child with an illness, I could definitely relate - all the emotions I have been through, the mother's intuition - I felt it all over again. Jason's #16 Dream is terrific!

Jason’s #16 Dream, by Sherry Moore, is a great children’s tale. Made for the ‘older’ kids, it tells of one child’s life with health issues and a mother’s desire to make someone pay attention. Showing the strength of character, you follow one child from the beginning of his issues till his eventual recovery. My own son, who is 11, thought it was “an awesome story.” Recommended for kids of all ages, it is insightful yet easy to read. It is quite the inspiration.

Did you ever have a feeling that there was something wrong with your child but even your doctor wouldn't listen to you? Sherry Moore has a done a remarkable job of telling how one mother went out of her way to finally find a doctor that would listen to her just in time to save her child's life.
Jason's #16 Dream is a must read not only for children but also for every parent with children. Even after being told that there is nothing wrong with your child, there's some things a mother just knows. Sherry Moore leaves the reader with a very happy and heartfelt ending. I highly recommend this book and give it a five star rating.

DUDE; YOU'RE A CRAB!
Sherry Moore’s, Dude You’re A Crab, is an amazing work of children’s literature. She takes an everyday occurrence, children wanting more than parents can give, and brings it to a whole new understanding, not only for children, but for adults as well. From the King, to Big Momma, to Fids, the resident comedian, this book is filled with the three L’s, love, laughter and lessons. A big round of applause for Sherry Moore for finding a unique story that’s fun and filled with moments of pure joy!
