Cheryl lost her husband on September 11, 2001.  Tom McGuinness, 42, was the co-pilot of American Airlines flight 11 which was flown into the north tower of the World Trade Center.  “I was a normal woman, living a very happy life and I never pictured that our dream would suddenly become a nightmare.  I never imagined that our peaceful life would be completely shattered.  And then came September 11,” said Cheryl McGuinness.

Now, supported by her deep faith in God, Cheryl is reaching out to others who have also experienced tragedy by sharing her message of courage, determination and love.  Her ministry, Beauty Beyond the Ashes, is dedicated to encouraging those who are feeling overwhelmed by their circumstances. Through the journey Cheryl and her two children have found a place of healing and forgiveness.

A sought-after author and speaker, McGuinness has appeared on “700 Club,” “LIFE Today,” “Good Morning America,” MSNBC, CNN, FOX News.  She has also been featured in publications such as Dr. James Dobson’s Focus on the Family, Charles Stanley’s In Touch, Stonecroft Ministries’ Progress Magazine, Salvation Army’s War Cry, The Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, New York Times and Newsweek.  She shares her story, personally, through speaking engagements across the country.  Her book, Beauty Beyond the Ashes: Choosing Hope after Crisis, released in 2004; provides the tools necessary for rising above difficult circumstances of any kind
