A Writer Who Believes Honest Stories Can Change Us
Cherie L. Davis writes about the things that are often difficult to talk about.
Her work is deeply personal, exploring trauma, healing, resilience, identity, relationships, nursing, and the many ways people learn to survive and eventually learn to live.
WHY SHE WRITES
Because stories matter.
Because silence can be heavy.
Because sometimes seeing your own experience reflected in someone else's words can make you feel less alone.
And because even difficult stories can carry hope.
