About the Author

Growing up surrounded by a seemingly never ending supply of books provided an ample playground for Jennifer Gibson’s imagination. A voracious reader at a young age, she delved into the rich worlds created by talented writers like Madeleine L’Engle, A Wrinkle in Time, which planted the seed of her passion for unique adventures. Encouraged by her creative writing teachers, her love for books blossomed into a full grown talent when she became inspired to create an original series based on her life as hard of hearing teenager.

Editorial Reviews

Destiny by Jennifer Gibson is heart-breakingly touching. As I mentioned in my review of Compass, book 2 in the series, it is hard to be a teenager and even harder to be a hard-of-hearing teenager. In Destiny, we follow Jessie not only through her trials in high school, but also as she moves into the adult world of jobs, stalkers, and life-changing decisions.

I found this book to be even more heart-wrenching and enlightening than the first two. If professional adults can't show a little warmth and compassion to someone less fortunate than them, how can we ever hope to evolve as a species. I can comprehend that humans tend to fear what they don't understand, but this is not the Dark Ages, or at least it is not supposed to be.
