Jessica Waite

I’m just an ordinary person who has been blessed beyond measure. I am the sum of my experiences, the good and the bad. I am a wife, a mother of four, an avid reader and lover of words. For as long as I can remember words have been my saving grace. Through a story I can dream bigger,  I gain hope and knowledge. Through writing I can express myself, offer insight and possibly even give hope.
