Jessica Bird is best known for her loving, cheerful approach to life. Her work is written from a place of vulnerability, honesty, and a desire to truly empower readers to live their full potential. Jessica lives on the Oregon coast, a dream-come-true central to the publishing of her second book, Raped, Not Ruined. Her writing is a healing and inspiring journey for the reader; Jessica leaves her readers feeling "lighter and more deeply alive" than when they picked up her story.



A warrior for compassion and non-violence, Jessica has suffered from Cystic Fibrosis all her life, overcome the challenges of an unconventional, sometimes abusive childhood, survived rape and multiple miscarriages, and remains a source of joy in the lives of those who know her.
