Leigh Jacob

Growing up with challenges wasn't easy for poet Leigh Jacob. However, early in life she found a way to express herself and let go of her emotions: "I choose writing over crying and have done so since childhood." While she enjoys celebrating the positive people and events in her life, Leigh knows it's important to talk about the difficult encounters as well. It's those moments that can bring out strengths we didn't know we possessed. The author lives in a small town in Ontario, Canada.
