Jackson's Song Amanda Hovseth

Jackson's Song is a young man's journey from brokenness to redemption.

Jackson believed he would never be able to beat the demons of doubt, fear, and insecurity that controlled his life. He lived in a world of darkness and needed a way out. So, he chose to end the pain in the only way he thought possible. It was the wrong decision. Instead of helping, his choice made things worse. Jackson was faced with more sorrow than he ever thought possible. He was up against a trial that no one--especially a teenager--should have to face. Thankfully he didn't have to do it alone. Jackson met a small group of people who breathed hope, faith, and--most of all--acceptance, into his life. During this healing journey, Jackson learned how to accept himself, and how to help others suffering from mental illness.
