Sherry Scott
I live in Paris, Texas with my husband and Albert, our standard poodle. The last one of our 4 kids entered college this year, 3 grandchildren in California. I am a physician who has practiced palliative/hospice care for children as well as general pediatric and adult medicine. I received my BA at Austin College, medical school and residency at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. My newest book is PLAYHOUSES: Sexuality and Fundamentalism, (2022, BRW). A journey from corrosive indoctrination to celebrating the differences in others. My first memoir, The Year My Mother Died, (2011, Authorhouse) explores the year following my mother's death. My second memoir, The People of Nineteenth Street, (2018, BRW) highlights the role people play in sustaining relational connections through life's transitional moments. I continue to write and serve on the board of the Gendercide Awareness Project, founded in Dallas, Texas.

“But I had learned to survive. I may have felt as if I couldn't breathe freely at times, may have felt caged and desperate, may have questioned all I ever was, but I had learned enough to keep me where I needed to be and to live to see what life would continue to bring my way if I continued to look for it.”
