\nA Little Mixed Up, 1981 (second printing 1982), Guild Press
\nSherry Lee refuses to lie. By telling the truth–with a clarity that sometimes chills-she exposes her personal nightmares, batterings and small victories, pierces the center of the wound and arrives at the truth about us all. She speaks with clear, strong images about her rootlessness and the terrifying denial of who she is. But one senses the warrior beneath the pain–and rejoices. –Martha Boesing <\/p>\n
