When Your Friend Doesn’t Make it to Her 16th Year.
Jess Sheppard is a multifaceted woman; born with the Pacific roaring through her veins. She grew up in the flat farmland of Southwestern Ontario, returned West to her start, then emigrated back to Ontario’s North to the bedrock, windswept White Pines and cold crystal lakes. With varying education under her belt and a laundry list of jobs on her resume she is working on figuring out the best way to grow on this planet. As a Momma, yoga instructor, wannabe Mermaid and a homesteader at heart, she still finds time to work her day job and follow creative pursuits by night.
