A former Master Teacher of science, Cheryl Liberatore changed course fifteen years ago to caretake her cancer-stricken daughter, then her elderly parents. She has continued in this role as guardian of her disabled brother while writing from her coastal Virginia home, where she enjoys lake boating, hiking with her husband, and a growing family. From her experience of God's faithfulness, the God in the Mess ministry arose to encourage those encountering difficult seasons of life.
