report abuse
about me

Up until now, failed adoptions in the UK are a hidden part of society. There are plenty of books on the subjects of fostering or even biographies of child abuse, yet none cover what happens to families who are blown apart by adoptions that go terribly wrong. I hope to break wide open this unseen yet devastating issue.
Born and raised in Bath England UK, I had always enjoyed writing, but was driven to write my autobiography after trying to raise a mentally damaged adopted daughter and receiving little to no help from the professionals.
My daughter's story has been in the Daily Mail UK, Take a Break magazine, and I have received an invitation to appear on a television chat show to discuss my book.

There are hundreds more families like mine whose lives have been shattered through adoptions that go wrong and I am hoping my book will inspire more families to come forward with their stories.

When love is not enough.

Cheryl Shepherd.

The true and tragic tale of a mother's fight to help her damaged adopted daughter.
All she needed was someone to listen..


When Cherry Willoughby adopted two angelic sisters, she thought that a loving family would heal the wounds of their troubled past, how devastatingly and terrifyingly wrong she was.
Her dreams of becoming a mother became reality when she looked into the eyes of her beautiful daughter, little did she know that those innocent eyes held a deep and troubled past that would tear her world apart in ways she never could have imagined.
Lies, coverups and even files missing from the social services play a part in Cherry's struggle to help her daughter,.
Things begin to make sense when she discovers her daughter held a shocking secret, but things were going to get worse, much worse.
The book begins here on chapter 3, the ending has been withheld.

When love is not enough is now available in paperback and in Kindle. Both from Amazon.

Having such a busy life I didn't intend to spend too long on your book, but found myself absorbed just the same!
