First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Cheryl Kincaid?”

You few up in an abusive home, correct?

That also carried over into your adult life, right?

From what I understand, you were an avid reader as a child and one of the books you loved was Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol.” You gained some unique inspiration from reading Charles Dickens books, correct?

In fact, you won the 2013 Independent Christian Publishers Illumination Award of Bible Study, correct?

Let’s shift gears a little bit. How did you get involved with helping victims of domestic abuse?

I know your second book is titled, “The Little Clay Pot” and is based on Jeremiah 18 about being “molded” into the person God wants us to be. That is a children’s book but can you share who that book is written for?

But how can women escape the abusive relationships when, many times, they are unprepared for living on their own… I know that is one of the big things the abusers use to control them, isn’t it?
