A Jinx Called Joe

Synopsis:
A Jinx Called Joe is a semi-autobiography, based on Joe's experience. 'Jinx' was the name that 'the father' assign to Joe, and the word has permanently been embedded in Joe's painful memory. His life did not belong to him. Struggling his whole life since birth, Joe decided to survive independently. Lacking any support, Joe had to force himself to be brave and strong to overcome every uphill battle because he had no other choice. To escape from the abuse from 'the father', Joe had only two paths - committing suicide or risking everything to fight against 'the father'.

A Jinx Called Joe is an account of the struggle for the meaning of life and self-worth. With no strong literacy background, only sincere words and genuine feelings can touch the readers. Written by someone who was broken, the tale was born to seek to advocate empathy.
