Meet Sherry Hanson-- one of the characters in Patrick's Rose

Sherry Hanson is a very interesting woman...

She lives near the ocean with her husband Jim.  Jim is a pastor of a medium sized church, and she is a wonderful pastor's wife...

Common brown hair and eyes,  She is of average height.  Nothing dramatic to look at her outward appearance, but when you get to know her--  Well she knows things.

Her favorite thing is seeing people's heart. She loves to help heal people, and her love more than anything is God. Her darkness is what she hides back-- the damage from a past that no one really knows about-- except Jim.  He loves her too much to divulge her secrets. Her parents were good Catholics who frowned on her marrying out of her faith, but she did and still keeps the faith she was raised with, though no one but Jim knows that too.

Sherry sees God in everything. --Hears him tell her how to handle what ever comes along, and has visions and dreams at weird times while she is awake and asleep. Sometimes darkness visits her. It has a door because what happened many many years ago marked her. It tempts her, but she is very good at giving it over to God.

 She can recognize spirits and sees the future, though she doesn't talk about it. She can tell the past of a person and she can see the truth in their life, but again she very rarely talks about it. Just because she doesn't talk about it, doesn't mean that she ignores it. Jim knows her and knows to listen to her. She is a leader, but just a quiet one. Sometimes she opens up, but only when she is specifically led to.

She trusts her visions and instincts more than anything besides God himself. They have never led her wrong.

When she meets Anna she sees the broken spirit within her, but also the love she holds tightly to. She doesn't fail to see the love between Anna and Patrick, and she loves the way Patrick gently cares for Anna. As Sherry gets to know Anna, she begins to realize the battle going on in Anna's life-- most of which Anna has no clue about. When Anna becomes pregnant the battle intensifies. Anna almost seems to put herself in harms way, though Sherry knows that is not Anna's intention, but something is moving her, and Sherry knows from her own past it is not God.

 How does she help Anna see the light? How does she save her from the destruction she has already seen? Can she save the life of the little child her pseudo daughter carries?

Sherry was first introduced in The Key to Her Heart.  She fastly became a mentor to Anna and Patrick both, but she takes on an even greater role in Patrick's Rose. Seeing her in the first book will give you a glimpse of who you will meet in Patrick's Rose.
