Hi everyone, 

Just a little self-introduction here. I am 22 this year, but mature beyond my age. I experienced terrifying things that a teenager should never go through. I wrote this book as a form of letting go. But why do I want to open up my life to the public to scrutinise and judge? 

In sharing my life story, I want to show that not every break up leads to slitting your wrists or other forms of self-injury, not every failed school exam leads to a hopeless future, and not every mistake leads to eternal condemnation. I went through hell and came out a stronger person. And to all the troubled youth out there, I want you all to know that there is always a way to get out of your rut. 

I hope that you all can pick up this book and be inspired by my story because I want to reach out to as many people as possible. 

“Jolene’s Story” can be found at all good bookstores like Popular, Times & Kinokuniya.

Thank you!
