1. According to Mom, no. But it was a trending girl name in the 1950s. The internet says: As a variation of the French chérie, Sherry means "darling," placing it as the very definition of a most beloved person. I‘m good with that?
2. The tagged author is named Sherri

pickNo book is as clever or as heartbreaking as this one. No book ever hits this consistently. No book raises me high and crashes me down like this one. #yalit #yahistoricalfiction #favoritebook

READ THIS BOOK & FEEL DIFFERENTLY

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This follows the Women‘s Air Service Patrol and a group of women who ferried military aircraft domestically during WWII. It follows several of the individual women throughout the war and then during the aftermath when they were dismissed and no longer able to fly, and into the 70s and 80s when they had to fight to have their work acknowledged as military service. Things are far from perfect, but it‘s a reminder of how far women have come.

Wonderfully atmospheric period details, and incisive portrayals of several marginalized people in wartime England/Scotland, one who can “pass“ and one who definitely can't. All inspired by true events, including a devastating episode in which a little boy assumes half-Jamaican Louisa is a Nazi, just because she has brown skin.
I found the quick switches of multiple points of view disrupted the narrative.
