Jess was born in sunny, southern California. How her home base is now West Virginia, she’s still not sure. She spent several years moving along the southern states before landing in West Virgina when she was seven and she’s been there ever since. She started writing when she was fifteen, sure then it was all love letters to her boyfriend at the time, but they were works of art…that are hopefully now all burned in some cleansing ritual.

Since then she spent time off and on going through writing phases and reading books like they were going out of style. After having her first child and being couped up at home with a baby that never slept, she found her writing again and Breaking Point was born. It took several drafts and lots of long nights a

More Delays

I know I have had several messages asking for book two...it's been a long time, I know. Unfortunately, due to life and other such things I stepped away from the writing world for a while. During that time, I realized I wasn't happy with Breaking Point and it's in rewrite stages. Hopefully if I can make myself focus I'll have it done and have feelers out to publishers/agents out sometime by the end Read more of this blog post »

I generally like Reeces book club picks but this one was not it for me. Pacing was so slow and nothing really felt satisfying at the end.

Quotes by Jess Jenkins  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Darkness is the absence of light. Happiness is the absence of pain. Anger is the absence of joy. Jealousy is the absence of confidence. Love is the absence of doubt. Hate is the absence of peace. Fear is the absence of faith. Life is the absence of death.”
Jess Bowen, Breaking Point

“I won't say anything, but you should tell them. It's not weakness to admit you're not perfect.”
Jess Bowen, Breaking Point

“With the last months spent preparing to face this darkness, it was improbable that the end of her story would be a happy one. She had considered death, maybe even accepted it, at times even wished for it. But no matter how many times she had thought it over, no matter the circumstances, it didn’t matter to her now.”
Jess Bowen, Breaking Point

“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.”
Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

“I finally understood what true love meant...love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.”
Nicholas Sparks, Dear John

“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough..”
Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
