Sharon Jackson
Sharon Jackson is a former Alaska State Representative, disabled veteran, stroke survivor, and public servant. Born in Philadelphia, she served in the U.S. Army from 1981 to 1989 before being assigned to Alaska, where she built her life and career. She advocated for free enterprise before working for a U.S. Senator from Alaska from 2015 to 2018. Shortly after her hire, she suffered a massive stroke but defied medical expectations, recovering and returning to full-time work. In 2018, she ran for Lieutenant Governor and was later appointed to the Alaska State House. As a disabled veteran, she advocates for veteran suicide prevention and stroke awareness. Sharon resides in Alaska with her husband.

Defiance is my Super Power
In Defiance is My Super Power, Sharon Jackson transforms a life-threatening stroke into a profound exploration of human resilience. What begins as a harrowing medical crisis—finding herself paralyzed, unable to speak, facing a risky shot that could either save or kill her—becomes the foundation for a powerful redefinition of defiance itself. Jackson reframes defiance not as rebellion against others, but as “faithful loyalty to your soul”—the quiet, unshakable commitment to remain true to oneself despite overwhelming pressure to conform. Drawing on her remarkable recovery, her service in the Alaska State House, and the profound losses of dear friends, she guides readers through trauma, expectation, self-love, and ultimately, empowerment.
Each chapter concludes with a memorable “Truth to Remember,” distilling wisdom into actionable insight. What emerges is both a deeply personal testimony and universal encouragement: your challenges don’t define you—how you choose to rise from them does. For anyone feeling limited by circumstances, expectations, or past pain, this book offers a compelling invitation to reclaim your power and live defiantly, authentically, and free.

BOOK
Behind the Book
The title of the book, IVF, is an acronym for “I Vow Forever,” symbolizing enduring love, commitment, and the emotional journey at the heart of the story.
The recurring imagery of the red bird and soccer ball serves as a tribute to Lilly’s deceased father, Marcos, reflecting his deep love for birds and soccer. These symbols represent remembrance, guidance, and the lasting presence of loved ones.
References to Lilly’s culture are woven throughout the story through Grecian goddess inspirations and themes of warrior-like strength, emphasizing resilience, femininity, and heritage.
The daughter’s bedroom was inspired by the author’s own daughter, Markella, making the setting deeply personal and emotionally grounded.
The characters’ eyes were also intentionally emphasized throughout the book, as the author believes that “the eyes are the windows to the soul,” using eye descriptions to reveal emotion, truth, and inner connection between characters.
