Jenna Fischer's Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis. She was determined, confident, and ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong? Uh, basically everything. The path to being a professional actor was so much more vast and competitive than she’d imagined.

Or, better yet, someone to show her the way. Jenna wants to be that person for you.

Published for the first time in English, these vivid, probing short works reflect deeply on the challenges of life.
