The heart of the story is in the 1980’s. In Hawaii, a love story enfolds between a young naïve woman and an Air Borne Ranger. As soon as they “tie-the-not,” life slowly changes for the worse and becomes a living hell. While moving to California to seek a better environment for the family, domestic violence comes into the picture. At the last straw, Jenny and her two children finally flee to safety and start their rocky road for a better life.
They finally have a chance to go back to Hawaii and get a second chance in life. While trying to overcome post-traumatic stress and mental illness, Jenny becomes a single mother raising her two children, a full-time student and part-time worker, always looking towards the future of being self-sufficient and not rely on the government’s help.
With much determination to overcome all the challenges and obstacles that comes their way, Jenny succeeds and reaches her goals and dreams.
2024 Update:
Multiple health and psychological illnesses leads to tragedies that feel like a knife went through Jenny’s heart.
While most of the content in Falling Perfectly Without Trying was about what Jenny went through, the last chapter added to the book is dedicated to Charles and Christina Simms. It mentions how and why Jenny had to give up Charles to the father in the 1990’s and the kid’s father not doing one of the most important things in life. As an adult, Charles faces one health problem after another.
Christina’s mental health turns for the worse and unforeseen occurrences become very questionable…yet there’s not enough time to dwell on Jenny’s mind.
In 2019-2020, one after another tragedies materialize and life doesn’t seem to be worth the effort…
