Born into a musical family on the island of Trinidad in the Caribbean, and with a passion for touching lives through dual ministry, Cheryl bares her soul as she shares a sometimes exasperating and painful journey in partnership, as reluctantly she is forced into "Solo Street" at the crossroads. Her headlamps for unsuspecting travelers are identified with humor and resilience. Her skills were honed on the campus of Caribbean Union College, (now University of the Southern Caribbean), a private denominational institution in the lush Maracas Valley countryside. Cheryl can always be found blessing others with her musical talents, literary skills and constant optimism. Continuing sources of joy are the performances of her 100 voice junior choir members of yesteryear, most of whom have now blossomed and excelled, especially in their own musical careers. This includes her son Chelton Jon, the founder and director of his own Brooklyn-based, gospel singing ministry, "Laos In Harmony". The joy of the Lord is her strength.

Book Details
There is no doubt that the Holy Spirit inspired this book. The book is an honest account of love gained, love lost, and self-renewal. Honesty was displayed through the writer sharing the good, bad and ugly of a marriage relationship. She shares her tears and her joys. The writer’s relationship with God provided an incentive to renew a deeper bond with the Savior. The reader’s attention is captured from the opening sentence and held to the very last line. The writer demonstrates humility as the principal aid to prayer, not leaving the reader hopeless or helpless, but recommending Jesus as a friend to others experiencing similar issues in a Christian relationship. I recommend this book to the young and to the old. The book will assist marriage counselors, pastors, those who are married and individuals contemplating marriage... It’s not just for women but also for men to hear the kind of grief we cause by some of our actions. The ending will surprise everyone. The writer demonstrates what David expressed in Psalm 145:18- (AMP)..."The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth".
