Growing My Way Home

Sad, shocking, and truthful, Growing My Way Home chronicles one woman’s struggle through events all too common among a people who have been separated from their culture and their language. From her experiences as a thirteen-year-old drug dealer, a fifteen-year-old parent, and finally an award-winning writer, artist, and filmmaker, Jenn Ashton has survived it all, from abuse to early involvement in the criminal justice system. Based on her teenage journals and fifty years of lived experience, Growing My Way Home documents a long journey to acceptance and understanding.
