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 abuse to early involvement in the criminal justice system, 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. Based on her teenage journals and fifty years of lived experience, Growing My Way Home documents a long journey to acceptance and understanding.
