Early years

Childhood

Sherrilyn Kenyon was born in Columbus, Georgia while her father was stationed at Ft. Benning, GA. Kenyon’s father abandoned the family when she was eight (he returned to the family her senior year of high school), leaving her mother to raise Kenyon, her younger brother, and her older sister, Trish, who has severe cerebral palsy, alone.
