I’d Like to discuss my Memoirs Written. by myself Sherry M Standing Joiner so that if there are questions. I have written my memoir Sherry Goes Sane, my Life experience with Schizoaffective Disorder and Last Miracle for Maria, mental illness and suicide, in my own words and my own experiences. Every words of my books are words of my experience and the ways I cope and get better, any other added comments or claims I did not write about my journey is false and untrue. Thank you, Sherry M Joiner I’m typing at my computer every month and sometimes weeks, not to achieve fame and fortune, but only to help others in an honest, skillful and compassionate way. No one I know of is reliving these chapters of life in my shoes and typing it for me. Thanks again, Sherry
