They were told they couldn't build a life together. They proved everyone wrong.
In 1952, Bert Cherry and Darlene Streat met at a rehabilitation center in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. He walked on crutches. She used a wheelchair. Both had survived polio-a disease that had taken so much from them. Critics said they were taking on more than they could handle.
They looked at each other's strengths and chose commitment.
This memoir tells the story of Bert and Darlene Cherry: two polio survivors who built a life of fierce love, unwavering faith, and quiet heroism. From wheelchairs and crutches to raising three children, building careers, and cherishing eleven grandchildren, their journey shows what love can do when it's rooted in faith and determination.
Drawing from newspaper articles, family photos, and personal notes-including Bert's handwritten love letters to his "queen"-the narrative follows their path from small towns in Arkansas and Oklahoma to Dallas, Texas, revealing how ordinary lives can shine with extraordinary courage.
