Author Sheridan Hill

Sheridan Hill writes memoirs, family history books and has written hundreds of articles and essays  for Southern magazines and newspapers, including The Charlotte Observer.

In My Name As A Prayer, Hill chronicles the passages that arise for parent and child when a parent becomes ill.

"I hope that in openly revealing the difficulties between my eccentric mother and myself, others can be inspired to make the most of their situation, whatever comes their way. I want to take each reader gently by the hand and draw them close to those intimate moments that arise as we outlive our parents and wonder how to help another person through the threshold."

She lives in Black Mountain, North Carolina, where she writes and plays with her grandchildren.
