Hearts of Glass isn’t just about the ’80s — it’s about what it costs to be different, and what it means to be loved anyway.
Jenny’s othered. Her crime? She's profoundly deaf.
And she fights to be seen as a strong woman.
This one’s for anyone who ever had to survive just by being themselves. 💜

What song got you through your toughest teenage days? For Cassie in Hearts of Glass Living in the Real World, it’s probably Blondie’s “One Way or Another”. For me, it was "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper. I’m curious to hear yours! #MusicMemory #80s

I’m 55 today.
Older than the Walkman. Still rewinding stories.
Some days I still feel like a kid, and others I feel every crack in my heart of glass.
Still loving. Still loud. Still here.

One beautiful surprise of this journey is seeing younger readers (Millennials and Gen Z) connect with my very Gen X story. It turns out the themes in Hearts of Glass Living in the Real World are universal and timeless. It reminds me that stories can bridge generations in the best way.

A line from Hearts of Glass that gave me chills when @jlvoice.com says it in the upcoming audiobook!
👉 "You didn't fall apart. You stood up to him. I'm proud of you."
(If you’ve ever felt a bit fragile yourself, this one’s for you.)

Chrissie Hynde didn’t just front The Pretenders, she changed the rules.
This week’s Fem Friday is personal: how her defiance helped save a girl I knew, and taught me how to listen better to women, truth, & rebellion.
