Reviews

At its core, Just Jen is a story about realistic hope. Powley shows us what it means to fully engage with the world on our own terms.--Quill and Quire

I was absolutely gutted in the best possible way as I read Jen Powley's memoir. The determination, resilience and humour that she displays in both her life and in her writing make this a must read. Her treatment of human relationships and sexuality are frank, brave and heartbreakingly human. I love this book and so will you.--Natalie Meisner, author of Double Pregnant

Jen Powley's intimate and provocative writing will wake you up. Jen brings insight, compassion, and humour to these memorable stories of living 'waist high' among family, friends, and lovers. Trust this writer: she's the real thing.--Lorri Neilsen Glenn, award-winning author and mentor

Just Jen will make you laugh, cry, and really see the vulnerability and truth of one courageous woman.--THIS Magazine

Powley is fearless, not only in the way she lives her life but also in her willingness to call the rest of us on our b-s in the way we too often deal with people with disabilities. But she does it all with a self-deprecating wit and a twinkle in her eye that makes us want to be better than we are.--Stephen Kimber, author of What Lies Across the Wate

This memoir is a gift to read. In her uncompromising demand for an authentic life, Jen Powley boldly leads us down the rocky roads she's had to navigate with her career, lovers, and a rotating cast of roommates and assistants. Even as she illuminates some of the darkest corners of her disease, Powley's resilience, humanity and scrappy sense of humour shine through on every page.--Sarah Mian, author of When the Saints
