A 2004 Magnum Cum Laude graduate, Jane was voted by her peers as “Most Likely to be CEO” of her collegiate class. Fast forward 20 years.

“Trauma Can Kiss My Ass” is an intimate collection of Jane’s personal writings throughout the rollercoaster of those two decades. Faced with the expectations of being top-of-the-class, Jane allows us to experience the humor and tears as she falters.

Jane would describe herself as:

• Bipolar. Lupus warrior.

• Introvert. Domestic Violence Survivor.

• Beach resident. World traveler. Big Dreamer.

• Event planner. Slightly obsessed with office supplies.

• Lover of all things cuddly.

We hope you enjoy this personal collection of journal entries, poems, short stories, and letters, as Jane takes us on a journey through raw, unfiltered emotions.
