Sherry L. Hoppe

After almost 20 years as a college and university president, Sherry Lee Hoppe retired as president from Austin Peay State University (TN) in 2007. Today, she works fulltime writing. A MATTER OF CONSCIENCE: Redemption of a hometown hero, Bobby Hoppe, takes readers inside her husband's historic trial for first-degree murder, giving a glimpse of "the man behind the mask." Man's conscience runs the gamut in the book, from the self-inflicted torture of the protagonist to the twisted ethics of a Baptist preacher who reveals a sacred confidence. A subtle love story woven throughout the book reveals why Sherry and her husband pledged to love each other 'til the 12th of Never. And, a surprise ending will astound even people who attended the 1988 trial.

Hoppe's next book, SIPS OF SUSTENANCE released May 2011. Hoppe writes about the experience of losing her husband and she shares her wisdom. She explains the grieving process to help those struggling as well as setting up guideposts for the reader to better understand their climb from the abyss.

FACES OF GRIEF, is scheduled for release by Wakestone Press in June 2011.
