edit data

Candice Jarrett is an award-winning songwriter who performed on stages and television shows around the world. But that was only the beginning. As the depth of her experiences grew, Candice’s writing expanded to not only include songs but novels as well.

Quotes by Candice Jarrett (?)

“I want her to grow up knowing that a person can be both sweet and tough, fragile and strong… and just because a girl’s in distress doesn’t mean she’s a damsel in distress. It’s ok to need help. It’s ok to break down and have to be rescued. In fact, sometimes asking for help is the bravest thing we can possibly do.”
