Sherry Hartzler is a novelist, gifted in the art of mainstream women's fiction. Granddaughter of another storyteller. Sherry, as a child, was always captivated by her grandmother's recollections of immigrant families in the early 1900's who struggled to make a living in the coal-mining region of Republic, Pennsylvania. Memories of her grandmother's stories, coupled with the life lessons she learned from the many strong women in her life, led Sherry on her own path of storytelling.
