Stand Still presents an intensely personal memoir written by a woman who has gained perspective on her past and who now shares the lessons she has learned through difficult times. Author Sherry Canty has learned to place her trust in God through all of the ups and downs of her life--from her challenging relationship with her father to many roadblocks she faced down in her life. As each struggle materialized in her life, she found the strength and spiritual support to face each challenge head-on and to find the right path for her life, walking side by side with God. Canty believes she is doing as the Bible says; as an elder, she is teaching the younger generation in proverbs, lessons, and psalms. Stand Still relates the inspiring story of a young girl growing into womanhood and the struggle and victories that accompanied her journey. She hopes her story may inspire young people to reach for their dreams, fulfill their purpose in life, and trust in God to walk beside them on their life's journey.
