Daring to Live: How the Power of Sisterhood and Taking Risks Can Jump-Start Your Joy

Faith, Substance Abuse and Jumping off Cliffs!

Pre-release of Powerful Memoir Daring to Live

Detroit, MI, July 16, 2019: Daring to Live – How the Power of Sisterhood and Taking Risk Can Jump-Start Your Joy, a memoir by Detroiter, Sheri Hunter, has just been released for pre-orders and has already captured the attention of several major movie studios!

Hunter’s memoir chronicles the sudden loss of her beloved husband, Mannard, and her downward spiral of grief, depression, drugs and alcohol and how it pushed the Christian woman, surprisingly, away from her faith instead of closer. With the help of her girlfriends — the four African American sister-friends call themselves the “Dare Divas” — Sheri was corralled to push past despair and develop a deeper relationship with God when challenged to complete death-defying “dares” like cliff jumping, motorcycling, skydiving, hot air ballooning, driving NASCARS, ziplining and hiking Mount Kilimanjaro.

The heartfelt story of sorrow, deep abiding friendship and outlandish dares, along with the power of steadfast movement towards healing as a widow has been featured in national magazines including More and National Geographic Traveler. Hunter has been featured on Good Morning America, FOX News, Essence, Hollywood Reporter and more.

Each chapter of Daring to Live gives encouragement and inspiration as it chronicles, “scary stuff; the idea of doing them made me weep with fear,” says Hunter. “I blew my own mind… the act of living outside my comfort zone, doing the dog-gone dares, jumping out of planes, leaping off of cliffs, and tromping up a 14,000-foot mountain were the very things that got my heart pumping with joy and made me smile broadly again.”

Sheri Hunter was a TV news producer/writer before earning her MBA and working as a marketing strategist. Sheri speaks at corporations, women’s conferences, colleges and faith institutions.

Hunter guest lectures for news media, corporations and academia on global topics such as: “Channeling Fear Into Positive Action,” “Loss/Grief and How to Get Unstuck,” “Struggles with Depression and How to Rise Up,” “The Imperfect Christian,” “Sister-Friends and the Love and Work That Shepherds Them,” “All ’A’ Students Are Not the Masters of the World,” and more.
