Go Ask Ogre

Passionate, artistic and sensitive, Jolene Siana lived on the impoverished side of the tracks in Toledo, Ohio, with an alcoholic, abusive single mother. At a time when Reagan and heavy metal ruled the Midwest, Jolene's only comfort was found through writing, drawing and immersing herself in a growing post-punk/industrial music scene. A tailspin of suicidal depression and self-injury led her to write Ogre, the frontman for the band Skinny Puppy. He soon began to receive a flood of illustrated letters and journals filled with Jolene's most intimate thoughts. At a concert, Ogre told Jolene that he saved all her letters and one day would return them. Nine years later, two boxes from Ogre arrived at Jolene's door. Re-examining the documents of her youth was a revelation. She realized that expressing herself through these letters had saved her life.--From publisher description.
