The Missing Pieces

This is the story of Sherry Martin


Sherry is a mother of five who works in childcare. She endured over 10 years of abuse by the men her mother married. She became pregnant at age 16 and again at 17, and was forced to drop out of high school and give up both her children. After almost 40 years, Sherry reconnected with her two children she unwillingly gave up. She has seen a lot of dark days but still does her best to make everyone around her smile. Sherry received her GED In 1983 and was able to find a loving husband after all the abuse and together, they had three children. Her husband unfortunately passed in 2017. Sherry’s journey connects to the writer of this story in a very intimate way because the writer is her daughter, who –if things had gone differently— would have been named Ashley instead of Stacy.
