What if the story that heals others is also the one that sets you free?

In this soul-stirring episode of Perspectives with Sherry, I sit down with author Mila Maxwell, whose debut novel Finding Lady Baltimore is more than fiction—it’s a mirror into grief, guilt, sisterhood, and the weight of what goes unsaid.

Mila shares:

• The real-life inspiration behind her novel
• Her struggle with sibling guilt and how it shaped her identity
• How writing became both therapy and truth-telling
• Why midlife gave her permission to stop hiding and start healing
• The importance of emotional honesty in family dynamics

If you’ve ever carried unspoken pain, questioned your place in your family, or wondered if it’s too late to rediscover who you truly are—this conversation is for you.
