I first came across Jane Devin's writing in 2007 on her online blog, focusing on a wide variety of topics....everything from politics, family, poverty, child abuse and protection, women's experiences, the challenges of being a writer, to love and the human condition. Let's just say, Jane's never been one to shy away from the 'big issues'!

Then, late in 2009, with support from many of her online friends and fans, and some surprising (at least to her) corporate sponsership, she left her life in Minnesota, and boldly set out on a solitary cross-country journey. Challenging herself to explore this country and her own inner landscape in a way she never had before, she wrote about the trip and the people she met all along the way. That journey ultimately lead Jane to find her way to writing this book, a personal story that had eluded her for years, a book and a story that perhaps haunted her.

Today, finally, her compelling and ultimately inspiring story becomes available on Amazon! Written in her unique voice that's often extremely graphic, conjuring harrowing visual imagery that would seem well suited for a movie screenplay, 'Elephant Girl' tells a dark story that's illuminated by Devin's sheer determination to survive and not allow the horrors of a broken childhood defeat her. It's a story, a life, that she's lived with courage and creativity, and that she relates in a literary form that is engrossing and cathartic!

I can only suggest that you get it........read it.........be carried away by it!
