Jamie Tworkowski is the founder of To Write Love On Her Arms. TWLOHA is a clothing company and a sounding board for hope. It’s a company that began with the story of Renee. Renee was a cocaine addict, and a cutter. She felt like she had nothing to live for until a group of friends showed her what it meant to truly be loved. The company name comes from this story in which Renee with a razor blade had written “F*** Up” on her arms. Jamie decided he would show her what it meant for LOVE to take it’s place.

I found myself more than once crying while listening to this book (Audible). The stories are raw and beautiful and full of love. They are unashamed and unafraid of darkness. They dive headfirst into hope and come out of the waters better for it. This book is a must read for all.
