As is the case with many child suicides, even Cherelle’s
mother, Lisa Seymour, didn’t see the warning signs until it was too late. What Cherelle left behind was a devastated
family overwhelmed by grief. Lisa,
Cherelle’s mother, was in a perpetual state of disbelief, searching for answers
to impossible questions. This book is
Lisa’s journey, a mother’s journey that took her from the brink of complete despair
to an uneasy acceptance, leaving her, in
the end, the strength and courage to carry on.
