Sweet Jen

This collection of poems is in honor Michael Jefferson’s wife, Jennifer, who passed away after complications from gastric bypass surgery in July of 2016. The poems chronicle their life together–the good and the bad. Writing helped Michael through many difficult moments, and it is his hope that readers struggling with their own difficulties may be inspired to write down their feelings as well.
