Cheri Dennis

Though she grew up in Macon, Georgia, and later attended Wesleyan College, Cheri Dennis has lived in Atlanta since 1980. Her major was art, and she worked as a graphic artist in Augusta, Atlanta, and Baltimore as she followed her husband during his medical training. When their first daughter was born in 1976, she became a full-time mom to what would later be three girls. Since an early age, she always dreamed of writing. As she grew older, learning more about her family's history became a passion. This book was an opportunity to combine the two interests.
