JENN LAVENDER

Born in Beckenfield in 1995, Jenn moved to San Diego with her family in 1999. her parents got divorced a year later, and her father set out to explore the world. her mom, unable to cope with the stress of single parenthood, became too exhausted to go on. Jenn and her siblings went to live with their Aunt Kathy. later they moved to Hawaii to be with her father. Morgan, her older sister, got engaged, and her mother came down for the wedding. after the wedding, her dad was shot, seemingly for no reason. her mom became depressed and suicidal, and was placed in a mental hospital. Aunt Kathy and Uncle Joe took the children in permanently, including Morgan, whose husband had left her for another woman. hating the rush and bustle of the big city, Jenn moved back to Beckenfield, which she perceived as safe and calm. she has lived in Beckenfield since August 2010, sharing an apartment with 3 friends (Katelyn, a childhood friend; Brittney, a cousin; and Courtney, who used to date her older brother). preparing for a secure future, Jenn got a job at the local newspaper while still in high school. now, however, her boss has ordered her to investigate the recent happenings.
