Jessica penned a new children's book, The Adventures of Jesi — Jesi's First Day of School. The book and its main character, Jesi, was inspired by the author's personal experience. Jessica and her husband, Officer Lucas Libby, share their home with Jesi, a Bangor Police Department canine. The book is about starting a new journey, in this instance the first day of school, while being seemingly different and making new friends. Jesi was smaller and had a different appearance than the other dogs in the training class but was quickly accepted and proved to be an exceptionally skilled police canine. Jessica has graciously offered to donate a percentage of the proceeds from her book to the patrol canine program which is estimated to be between $1,000 - $5,000.
