About The Author


Jeri began writing poetry at the age of 11, when she discovered she had a talent for rhyme. She used her poetry, even at that young age, as a form of therapy to deal with severe childhood trauma. She never intended to share it with the world, but God had other plans. Over the years she slowly began to share her art with her inner circle. She was encouraged to enter her poetry into the National Library of Poetry contest, which she did and won editor's choice. Her poem, 'Transformation' was published in The National Library of Poetry, Verdant Lands of Spring (1998). She began her first book Modern Day Psalmist in 1999, but half-way through she set it down to be forgotten for the next two decades. Again, God had other plans. He orchestrated her life in such a way over those two decades that she knew she had to finish this book- which she did in 2023. Jeri has several other titles in the works in the hopes of connecting with others in a tangible and relatable way with the beautiful love of Jesus.

An amazing story Strong is a powerful and emotionally engaging book that explores resilience, personal growth, and the challenges people face when trying to rebuild their lives. What makes this book stand out is its honest portrayal of struggle and the way it emphasizes the importance of perseverance even when circumstances feel overwhelming. The author does an excellent job of illustrating that strength is not always about appearing confident or unbreakable, but rather about continuing forward despite fear, doubt, and setbacks. One of the strongest aspects of the book is its ability to connect with readers on a personal level. The writing feels authentic and sincere, allowing readers to see parts of their own experiences reflected in the story. The themes of endurance, self-discovery, and emotional healing are presented in a way that feels relatable rather than exaggerated. The author demonstrates that true strength often develops quietly, through small decisions and moments of determination that accumulate over time. Another positive feature of Strong is the message that growth often comes from adversity. Rather than presenting challenges as obstacles that simply block success, the book shows how difficult experiences can shape character and lead to deeper understanding. This perspective encourages readers to reconsider how they view their own struggles and to see the possibility of transformation even during difficult periods. Overall, Strong is an inspiring and meaningful book that reminds readers that strength can take many forms. It is not only about overcoming external challenges, but also about confronting internal fears and continuing to move forward with purpose. The book offers encouragement without being unrealistic, making it both motivating and grounded. Readers looking for a story about perseverance, courage, and personal development will likely find Strong both impactful and memorable. Read more
