Dear Valued Readers,

I hope this message finds you well and reflective. From the bottom of my heart, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your support by purchasing and engaging with “Fragments of Identity”. Your support not only fuels my passion for writing but also amplifies the critical conversations we must have as a society. “Fragments of Identity: A Journey of of Resilience, Discovery, and Redemption delves into the harsh realities of the criminal justice system—a theme that is personal and poignant for both me and my husband. Our journey, punctuated by letters and phone calls, stands as a testament to enduring love and resilience amidst forced separation. This experience mirrors the deep, heartfelt letters that have traversed history, symbolizing the strength of human connection against the backdrop of adversity. The criminal justice system, with its daunting power, often casts a shadow on the most kind and gentle among us, attempting to reshape their narratives. My book strives to challenge this narrative, pushing the boundaries of conversation around topics critical to our democracy and societal health. From immigration to gun violence, freedom of speech, the right to publication, abortion, and the sanctity of marriage—these are not just topics, but lived experiences that demand our attention and action. As someone born outside the fifty states, my journey to America has been one of observation, participation, and now, a desire to conquer injustices through the power of words. My perspective as an outsider looking in has only fueled my determination to shed light on the shadows, to question the unquestionable, and to champion the cause of the voiceless. Your support of “Fragments of Identity” is not just a purchase; it’s a partnership in advocating for a more just, empathetic, and understanding world. As we navigate these conversations and choose our next officials, let’s remember the power of our collective voices and the impact of our choices. Together, we can challenge the imperatives, celebrate the diversity of thought and experience, and work towards a future where justice and compassion are not just ideals, but realities for all. Thank you once again for standing with me, for embracing the tough conversations, and for believing in the power of change through storytelling. With utmost gratitude and respect,

Best Regards, Jenny Toussaint
