About the author

Cherie Rickard’s first book, Wake-Up Call....A Mother's Grief Journey , goes where few people dare to ever go – deep and real. Cherie, a Registered Nurse and Medical/Business Professional working with clinicians caring for adults and children, is first a child of God, a Mother of three, a wife, daughter, sister and friend. Born in Arkansas and raised in South Louisiana, Cherie now devotes her life to helping people understand how to turn the tragedy of losing a loved one into a life of joy. In a refreshingly honest and transparent narrative, Cherie shares her heart in this book -- a moving, inspirational voyage inside how her life was shattered in an instant. In vivid detail, the reader lives how overwhelming her grief was when in 2007 Bryant Kite, her 17-year-old son entering his senior year of high school was killed in a one-car accident. In ways unexpected, practical and real, Cherie gives anyone who has ever experienced the devastating loss of a loved one, extremely practical, heart-felt advice on how to turn life’s most tragic blow into triumph by trusting in God and His Word. Cherie’s second book Strong Women is available here
