Jenny was born in 1956 in London. After enduring a turbulent life Jenny decided to write her memoirs in the hope it would raise awareness to the sufferers of abuse. Her daughter bought her a word processor and Jenny used this to pour out all that had happened to her.
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS was published in 2005 and charted the horrific abuse and neglect that she suffered throughout her early childhood at the hands of her parents. The book was an instant hit reaching number one in the Sunday Times Bestsellers.
Jenny was uplifted and humbled by the response to her memoirs and shortly after her first book she released SILENT SISTERS that carried on her story from where it was left in BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. Again the public rallied and bought the second instalment and Jenny cemented her career in the writing she loved to do. SILENT SISTERS was followed by NOT ALONE which championed the stories of other abuse victims and brought notice to all sufferers that they were not alone in conquering their abused pasts.
Jenny eventually moved to France but her hopes and ambitions of a new life were cut short when she fell very ill. After surviving a near death experience and many months of rehabilitation, Jenny decided to move back to the UK to be with her family.
Jenny has worked with many charities, including Banardo's and Refuge and has appeared on ITV's This Morning, Loose Women and ITV News. She also participated in a small Documentary for Sky News, and has visited various projects in the UK.
Jenny Tomlin was born and brought up in east London. She has two children and lives happily in France. Jenny is a bestselling author and children's rights campaigner.
