Sherri Patterson Delivers a Vivid and Glaring Firsthand Account of Domestic Abuse in Her Memoir, Mad
Online, July 6, 2011 (Newswire.com) - This summer, office water coolers everywhere will be set ablaze when Sherri Patterson releases her long-awaited memoir, Mad Lyfe of an NBA Wife. Far from the cookie-cutter reflections of lavish living portrayed by television, Sherri is geared up to give readers an unapologetic look into her experiences as the spouse of a professional athlete.
Known for her vivacious and vibrant personality, one would never expect the turmoil that Sherri Patterson had to endure as the wife of a former Atlanta Hawks player. Riddled with emotional scars and mental trauma, Sherri courageously speaks her truth in the hopes that it will loosen the bondage of women who still live in fear and denial.
"The other side of the story of life surrounding the NBA has yet to be told in complete and accurate detail, " said Patterson, now a highly successful Registered Nurse in Miami. "I believe the purpose of the pain that my experiences wrought were to shape me into who I am and become an advocate for those who are where I was."
Written with gut-wrenching honesty, readers will be able to find themselves or someone they know in Sherri's sometimes unbelievable recollections. While domestic abuse played a part in the emotional rollercoaster that became Sherri's marriage, she uncovers and shed light on many other issues that plague relationships: infidelity, low self-esteem, and emotionally bankrupt individuals. Mad Lyfe of an NBA Wife is strongly positioned to shock you, soothe you, and speak to the survivor in you!
