About the Author

Jolina Jazwinski has been writing from the soul since she was 10 years old. Her first introduction to the power of her words was when she was in 7th grade. Her poem, We'll Be Free, preceded a Holocaust survivor's remarkable speech about intolerance. When he made reference to how various lines in her poem could relate to anyone, Jolina Jazwinski discovered her words had influence on all people. From that point forward Jolina listened to her inner voice and wrote down her most personal journeys in hopes of one day restoring a sense of peace to those eager to listen.
