My book is inspirational, motivating and full of hope!
Available on e-book through Barnes & Noble Nook and Amazon Kindle.
I am a first-time author and my book was written for two reasons. One reason was to heal myself and the other reason is to help others. I take you on the journey of my life from having a tanning addiction to being in control of my own life. I gave my addiction so much power that it was the most important thing in my life, but not anymore! I am addiction free and after you read my book I want you to feel inspired, motivated and most of all hopeful. There is a way out if you are stuck, but you have to find your own path. This book is my path and when you read it I want you to find hope.

A big THANK YOU to my dear friend Andi Andree for nominating me for this award and to Shawn and Monica @WDKB for this recognition!! I will continue to share my story!!
94.9 WDKB and First National Bank presented this week's #HometownHero award to: Jana Roe!
Thanks to Andi for nominating Jana. Jana has always lived her life looking for ways to help others. She has worked with youth that have disabilities for all of her adult life. Jana has also volunteered at animal shelters. Some years back Jana received some very bad news that she had skin cancer. She knew it was a result of her addiction to tanning. She continues to go through many painful treatments for her condition. Jana turned this unfortunate experience into one that helps others. She has written and published a book “Burned, My Journey through Addiction” which describes her journey and explains very clearly how and why to avoid tanning. Jana has spoken to many classes in local schools explaining her journey and how each person can and should avoid the behaviors that lead to skin disease. Jana has received many letters stating how brave she is and the fact that she has changed their way of thinking regarding exposure to the sun. Jana’s journey through skin care treatment of skin cancer is not over. She continues to use each painful experience as one that she will present to local youth so that they may avoid this painful and life-threatening journey. Jana is a Hometown Hero!
Thank you Jana for being brave enough to share your painful journey and for helping to inspire the youth to protect their bodies from this painful experience.
