“A must read for those who choose to subject themselves to life at its
best and at its worst. Sherry offers insight in the Emergency Response
business that most people cannot imagine. This book details life through
the eyes of a caring individual who is a devoted CISM practitioner and
true professional, who continually accepts the crisis presented, employs
best practices, focuses on the mission, and makes the trauma, pain and
suffering a little easier to manage.”

former Commanding General, USAF Auxiliary (CAP)
“We are not alone. Sherry Mayo shares experiences and unique
personal insights of first responders. Told with poetry, sensitivity and a

common experiences and support from our peers.”
