I'll Take the Baby Now

Cheryl Allenbrand was born in Liberal, Kansas and grew up in Raytown, Missouri. In high school she had her first-born child, a son, which she gave up for adoption. Following college, she married and raised three children in the Kansas City metropolitan area, where she has remained throughout her life. From the heart of America, Cheryl's life story is an inspiration for all--especially women--as she has struggled through many hardships and ultimately prevailed. She endured abusive marriages, debilitating depression, and severe attention deficit. Later in life, she lost her three adult children to horrendous deaths, all within a six-year period. To see her through, she relied on her simple faith. Then in her retirement years, she was miraculously reunited with her first-born son--after a span of fifty-seven years not knowing whether he was dead or alive, or near or far. Cheryl lives with her long-time husband, Gary, in Overland Park, Kansas. Her son, Robert Fowler, and his wife, live nearby.
