Description
“This Life I’ve Bled” is the painfully honest true story of small town girl’s symbolically bloody, stigmatized life relating her experiences with alcoholism, drug addiction, religion, mental health issues, bisexuality, abortion, divorce and the accidental loss of all three of her children, two of whom died ten days apart in 2015. As depressing as that sounds, the story is infused with humour as quirky as the author herself and is intended as a hopeful handbook on how to survive a life on planet earth.
About the author
Jacquelyn Johnston has lived in and around Vancouver, BC for the past 35 years or so trying to live a memoir-worthy life. She lives alone in an empty nest, venturing out to do low paying part-time jobs and find live music to dance to. She misses her children but not her ex-husband.
