Publisher's Synopsis
"When you're running out of ink, the only person that can refill you with those things is you."
In running out of ink, we are introduced to author Jen DeSanctis, who has struggled with mental health, relationships, death, substance abuse, and more. We see a narrator who has a joy and zeal for life faced with obstacles, beginning in the second grade. DeSanctis witnessed the butterfly effect of one moment starting at seven years old. She emphasizes how one moment can change everything.
Ultimately, after accumulating struggles, she hit her lowest point on the night she calls "running out of ink"; it could have been the end, but it wasn't. DeSanctis explores the life challenges and losses which led to the loss of self, and her determination to fight through the darkness and find herself again.
running out of ink, in poetic form, is a beautiful memoir that explores the fact that only you can save yourself. Jen DeSanctis illustrates that, despite your past, you can be re-born. Move forward. Take back control. Now is the time to re-write your narrative.
