THE PITS

-a memoir by Cheryl Edwards

Cheryl Edwards’s life takes a terrifying turn when she is viciously attacked by three pit bulls. Nothing goes according to plan when it comes to escaping, finding help, and recovering.

Once a happy dog-loving gym rat who swam with sharks and skydived, she’s now afraid of skiing, snakes, and senior schnauzers. With her life in the pits, she copes like any other Gen Xer and the only way she knows how: with pigheaded determination, sarcasm, and humor. Needless to say, the results vary.
