Hi! I’m Jennifer Lanham, voice of Hearts of Glass: Living in the Real World!

five stars, then text reads: Text of review reads! 5.0 out of 5 stars Real teens, heartfelt story, a must read. Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2025 This novel really packs a punch. The dialogue is direct, witty, and fun. The characters are instantly compelling and complex. Pat Green sensitively handles complex traumas like abuse, partner violence, and bullying without turning victims into sensationalized caricatures of the issues they face. I absolutely loved Ford as a protagonist. He's got the biggest heart. He might not be able to tell when someone is flirting with him, but he sees people for who they are. He's a guy who actually likes and respects women. That shouldn't be a treat, but it is. Cassie, likewise, feels so real. She's facing tough things, but she's resilient, strong, and vulnerable. And trust me, you don't need to be a Gen Xer to enjoy. While 80s nostalgia is woven throughout the story, it never obstructs the plot. Instead, it gives texture and depth to the characters, their interests, and the world they're living in. (Coming from a millennial reviewer.) I definitely recommend this book to anyone who's ever felt sidelined, othered, or somehow outside the expectations the world places on you.
Another 5 star review of my book to sweeten my coffee! Reviews help Indie authors soooo much! If this review intrigues you, get your copy of my latest book at www.barnstormerpublishing.com

Dazzling. Deaf. Done apologizing.
She doesn't need your pity. She needs the runway!
Jenny is that girl.

“This isn’t a love triangle. It’s a trauma triangle. And somehow… it still makes your heart ache in the best way.”
A reflection on the new book, Hearts of Glass Living in the Real World.

A poem about taking risks. The sandstorm mentioned really occurred in Big Bend National Park where I had to escape into a canyon.... In time, I learned my fear of heights was simply a fear of falling, and breaking against solid ground into tiny bits of myself, millions of mirrored slivers of my well-manicured psyche now reflecting each naked faceted truth blindingly for all to see, splattered without mercy in fool's blood into the far reaches of a dry, desolate, despondent desert, where even a breath in a sandstorm is a death wish, but inhale I must, in faith that my healers will regather me from far and wide, soften my crystalline bonds, and rebirth me in the loving waters of ancestral grace, where refashioned I'll fly again to perilous peaks for another brief brush with paradise
This started as a little joke poem about my acrophobia and turned into this.
