Cherry Wardwell is a Georgia native. She was born at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, originally Wesley Memorial, where her grandfather occasionally practiced. Cherry is a self-proclaimed poet and an aspiring novelist. She presently resides in Monticello, Georgia, with her husband, Duane. Her family continues to enjoy the close relationships she experienced as a young girl growing up in the Atlanta area. Her grandfather, Dr. James Addison Bell, was a much-loved physician of rural DeKalb County in the early to mid-1900s. She developed a great affection for this man whom she never had the privilege to know, through the amazing stories so fondly told by the older members of the Bell Family. She authored this fictional work in tribute to his memory.
