FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sherri Mayes, a sixty-one-year-old mother of two who works part-time at a local casino where she lives in Henderson, Nevada, has completed her new book "Black Bird in the Blue Dawn": a tender memoir.

Author Mayes writes about the early dawning of her independence: "Once you began to take a look at your life, you see just how pretty it wasn't. Home alone with one sibling, sixteen months apart in age; however, lives are so different you would never know they were related.
I focused on how to survive in this world by the time I was eight years old, searching here, there, everywhere for something that I could glean from. Looking for something better than what I currently had. I knew that I was going to have to complete high school because of all the adult talk I had been hearing it seemed imperative that obtaining a high school diploma was on the top of my priority list, so I sought it out, like it was the thing to do. I understood early on I was alone in life, and it appears that was going to always be the way it is and was. I had to make decisions that would prepare me for this hard cold cruel world that was not going to be friendly in anyway."

Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Sherri Mayes's new book is a nuanced portrait of a woman who went into life expecting the worst but hoping for the best, and coming out all the better for it. Her deep honesty will delight.

Readers who wish to experience this poignant work can purchase "Black Bird in the Blue Dawn" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
