“I turned on the light, illuminating the master bedroom, and then gasped, throwing my hand over my nose to mask the indescribable odor. The scene before me was horrific. On the bed, Bradley and Regina Kent lay next to one another. Their eyes were closed. But they weren’t sleeping: they were dead.”

Stranger in Town
“Even when the anguish fades away, the memories linger, the smallest reminder becoming a trigger to a time long past.” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, Hush Now Baby
“At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?” -Abraham Lincoln” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, Stranger in Town
“It bugged me that the cover bedding was seldom washed, like slapping on a set of sheets made up for a bedspread that contained more germs per inch than the inside of a frat boy’s toilet. ” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, Stranger in Town
“Funny thing about trying to change a person—it never worked.” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, Stranger in Town
“I gazed at the Wyoming skyline. It was vibrant and alive, its pastel shades of pink and blue swirling together like billowy layers of cotton candy. Of all the places I’d been in my life, Wyoming sunsets were spectacular, the grandest I’d ever seen.” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, Hush Now Baby
“a discomforting feeling like she was being watched consumed her. Troubled, she kept her eye on her destination and picked up the pace. The brittle winter air scratched against her skin like sandpaper, chilling her to the core. She pulled the scarf around her neck a bit tighter, burrowed her face into it, and kept going. Almost there.” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, Gone Daddy Gone
“no” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, Black Diamond Death
“Standing at the very place a person took their last breath was hard, and though bringing justice to those who no longer had a voice was satisfying, seeing the spot a person’s life had been snuffed out was one part of my job I could live without.” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, Smoke and Mirrors
“People flow in and out of our lives for a reason, often at a time when they’re needed most,” I said. “Sometimes those we meet are here to stay. Other times they’re fleeting, people we look back on and appreciate what they had to offer us while we shared the same time and space. Whether those relationships work out or not doesn’t matter. What matters is to recognize what we learned and how we grew during the time we spent together.” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, Little Lost Secrets
“and” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, Little Girl Lost
“The man behind the counter nodded and called out to a kid that looked like a penguin in a purple vest.” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, I Have a Secret
“But the lack of affection I’d been raised with left me with an inability to bond fully without feeling like I was being forced to sit through a long sermon in a sticky church with no air conditioning.” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, I Have a Secret
“Don’t seek perfection. Don’t focus on your weaknesses. Use your weaknesses to make you strong.” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, Little Girl Lost
“To return and see all the differences was like running into an old boyfriend who’d been voted Best Hair in school, beating out all the guys and the girls, and then finding time had left him not just with a bald spot, but bald altogether. This type of thing might have been acceptable had the old boyfriend entered the UFC or was blessed with a name like Bruce Willis, but if he was skinny and had a square-shaped head, well, it just wasn’t the same thing. And that’s what Tehachapi had become to me—different, almost to the point of indistinguishable.” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, I Have a Secret
“Small town. Some days it feels like we’re all connected.” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, I Have a Secret
“I am not concerned that you have fallen. I am concerned that you arise.” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, Little Girl Lost
“novella” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, Gone Daddy Gone
“Once Jesse was under control, I reached for the bottle of BUD LIGHT.” ― Cheryl Bradshaw, I Have a Secret
