You never know what someone is currently going through or has gone through.
The meaning behind “don’t judge a book by its cover” holds true meaning behind everyone’s individual stories.
Jenn has a story to tell and WOW… her story is powerful and to see her go through life and still see her power through it; even after all life threw at her. She truly is an astounding woman!!
You can feel the hope and joy throughout this book. As well as the sorrow and heart ache. To read this book is to know her a little deeper and I’m happy she shared these stories throughout the book to give the reader a sense that not all happiness has to stop and to keep pushing forward to finding your own happiness through your highway to happiness journey.

Sending good vibes for the next book as more travels and sunflowers come her way. 🌻 🚌 🌻

Jenn delivers her story of healing in an engaging, personal, conversational style. She is an old soul buy a young woman who has been through A LOT! She discusses her trauma without whining or blaming. And, she gives touch points that work for her to free herself from the anxiety and stress that are accessible to anyone. She takes the reader on her journey with her and is very real about her feelings on motherhood, abandonment, expectations, grief, loss, depression, triggers, and joy. Her book does not have a grand ending wrap up so I expect there will be more from Jenn which makes me very happy. I am older; but truly enjoyed reading how one younger woman worked through her challenges. What gives a person the will and inspiration to take up their own inner transformation and growth? This book is well worth the few hours to read.

What a hauntingly beautiful memoir. Jenn after everything she’s been through is STILL so full of love and light. As I read about her story I found myself taking deeper breaths when my own anxieties came. This book reads like sitting down with a friend sharing her story so you too can peel back the layers of your own trauma and learn to heal.
