Publisher Description
Jen Powley was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at fifteen. By thirty-five, she had lost the use of her arms and legs.
Just Jen is a powerful memoir that tells the story of Powley’s life at the time of her diagnosis, and the infinite, irrevocable ways it has changed since. Powley’s writing pulls no punches. She is lively, bold and unapologetic, answering questions people are often afraid to ask about living with a progressive disease. And yet, these snapshots from Powley’s life are not tinged with anger or despair. Just Jen is a powerful, uplifting and unforgettable work by an author who has laid her life — and her body — bare in order to survive.

Customer Reviews
Absolute Inspiration
I have Multiple Sclerosis. Everyday brings a challenge or two. I’m grateful that I have a wonderful hubby. He is my rock. Reading Jen’s memoir is a true inspiration. A validation that living a life with disability is a life well lived, regardless of the limitations. Bless you for sharing all of the nitty gritty bits.
A story of courage and triumph
A wonderfully written journey about the struggles of living with multiple sclerosis and the will to never give up. I am a health care provider and Jen gave me so many new and wonderful insights to help me take better care of the people I work with.
