IPOH, Malaysia
Debut author Jasemin Sibo marries a "pay it forward" concept with a "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"-type idea for a global movement she calls Sisterhood of the Traveling Book. She launches this movement with her new book, "Epiphany!: A Collection of True Tragic Turned Candid Love Stories" (published by Partridge Singapore).
Ten years in the making, "Epiphany!" is a self-liberating collection of sob stories from Sibo's own life and those of contributors the world over. In a lighthearted manner, Sibo has rewritten the stories into a candid, witty and wickedly honest chronicle for all those who have walked and tripped unceremoniously while falling in and out of love.
"I dedicate this book to all women in the world who have experienced love lost in their own intimate ways," Sibo says. "It is my wish that through my book they can see the positive side of their past romantic liaisons and have faith to fall in love again, whole-heartedly."
Sibo hopes to catalyze a world-wide sharing movement - a platform for women to contribute their stories and allow her to re-write them in a witty and uplifting manner, enabling sharing of invaluable lessons so that women around the world know that they are not alone in their life experiences. She hopes this will lead to an altruistic, global Epiphany community, where readers would form interdependent relationships, sharing resources and best practices.
Starting in Oct. 2014, hardcopies of "Epiphany!" will be given to Sibo's friends and family around the world, where, upon finishing the book, they will pass the book on. This will be running in tandem with a selfie competition, which will culminate France's Epiphany day celebration Jan. 6, 2015. Readers with the most innovative poses with the "Epiphany!" book will win prizes.
