When She Was Nine Years Old, Her Mother Began A Dark, Slow Descent Into Alcoholism And Insanity. At The Same Time, Her Beloved Father Turned His Back On The Family, Removing His Love And Protection, And Leaving Her To Care For Her Mother And Two Younger Siblings. Her Father Divorced Her Mother While Was Recuperating In A Mental Hospital And Left The Family For Good. He Deposited Sherry's Siblings With Their Maternal Grandparents, And Embarked On A New, Single Life.

Looking For A Way To Deal With Her Unrequited Anger And Grief, She Turned To Food As Solace, Becoming A Binge Eater And A Morbidly Obese Young Girl. Hopelessness, Shame, And Loneliness Drove Her Deep Into Depression And Frightening, Self-destructive Behavior.
