Extraordinary... Her account of this time is very affecting... She writes with acute intelligence of the loss of the familiar Self, suffered by people who become very ill or disabled... The letters she prints and her sweet replies bring light into a gloomy world, and I for one am grateful for her message. - Daily MailAn extraordinary woman. It takes courage, self-belief, imagination and an inspiring lack of self-pity to turn such bad luck into a positive direction, and to conceive of an idea that will spread happiness. - Stephen FryI've known Jodi for almost 7 years now, and when I first met her she was an aspiring poet, and like me, just trying to get out there and play as many shows as possible. She came to watch me play at Bestival in 2011 and next thing I know, a few months later, she is paralysed. Anyone could have given up on hopes and dreams in that position, or even felt sorry for themselves, and yet every time I saw Jodi, she had regained movement in one part of her body, and slowly she was getting better. It's a fantastic book, from a fantastic wordsmith, and I'm so proud of how much Jodi has achieved since I've known her. Proper chuffed. Ed xA book filled with gorgeous letters - CompanyThere is so much emotion in these pages that we challenge you not to cry... A witty and uplifting account of the ripples of positivity that Jodi created around the world, she's inspired us with the idea that "for the price of a stamp you can change someone's day". - CosmopolitanShe may have to get used to the attention because my hunch is that the book she has written, One Million Lovely Letters, may well become a bestseller. It's Eat, Pray Love meets The Little Book of Calm - Sunday Telegraph Stella MagazineA hug in book form - GlamourOne Million Lovely Letters tells how this simple idea kick-started her recovery - and helped many others. Tissue, anyone...? - Good Housekeeping
