Jennifer’s story isn’t for the faint of heart.

She lived through things that would break most people,

and somehow made it out the other side with her wit intact and her fairy wings still attached.

Just when it seemed life couldn’t throw anything else at her, it did.

This is not a fairytale, and she is no damsel.

But if you’ve ever wondered how much one person can survive, and still keep their sense of humor,

you’ll want to meet my sister.

For over a decade, Donna has been a freelance magazine writer in California, exploring human resilience through words. She has fronted several bands as lead singer, loves the unpredictability of improv, and can often be found curled up with a good book and her husband, probably a cat or two on her lap. This book is a labor of love for Jennifer and all who will read and be inspired and changed by her story.

A Blow To The Heart

Chasing Freedom

Wandering in the Shadows

 

On this broken road, you’ve slipped into the night

You’re pressed on every side and cannot see the light

You’ve searched for something more and come up empty-handed

You’ve found this life, the one you live, is not the way you planned it

 

Wandering in the shadows, so dark and all alone

Wandering in the shadows, it’s always been your home

You feel like you belong, in the muck and in the mire

You’ve bought into the game, but fear—he is a liar

 

The troubles that you carry are more than you can bear

Your world revolves around your pain and no one seems to care

But listen, there’s a still small voice, no matter where you roam

Outside the shadows, the invitation – “Dear wanderer, come home.”

 

At first, it’s all too much to know, so hard to just believe

The wreck you’ve made, the cost you’ve paid, you don’t know how to leave

And through it all a nagging you somehow can’t dismiss

The gentle whisper calls your name, “You’re made for more than this.”

 

The day has dawned, your time has come

Rise up and flee the gallows

Take your place, there’s so much more

Than wandering in the shadows.
