Chat with Jessica Taylor, Author, Worker for Head Injuries

Jessica Elizabeth Taylor was born in Listowel, Co. Kerry, Ireland. She was a professional actress and award winning Irish dancer in her childhood years. Along with her English husband and their two daughters she immigrated to Canada in 1967. Life was good for the family when she opened a Merle Norman Cosmetic Studio in Toronto in 1969. On November 1969, Jessica tumbled head first down a steep, flight of stairs, suffering a devastating head and brain injury. Her slow and arduous recovery spanned 16 years and three countries. Somehow this amazing woman rose above it all. With the support of new, trusted friends, the deep love of her daughters, her spiritual beliefs, Jessica healed. Rising like a Phoenix from her own ashes, she now embraces others who have suffered. Jessica has attracted the support of many high-profile notables like Vanessa Redgrave, The Duchess of York, and Former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson.
