You might wonder if JoAnn Marie had the courage and determination to write on such a serious, unpleasant topic as incest, whether those characteristics show up in other areas of her life, and you would be right.

A two-time cancer survivor, running code blues as an intensive care nurse, standing against the tide in the early days to homeschool her two children from kindergarten through eighth grade, and getting a certificate after age forty to advise people on health matters as a homeopathic doctor, JoAnn has succeeded in living a life of purpose.

For excitement, JoAnn has traveled to twelve countries and thirty-two states. She enjoys watching her grandchildren participate in school activities. She takes them on a vacation trip every year. She envies people who write fiction and reads a book a week in her favorite genres of political and crime thrillers. Audiobooks are her favorite companion on morning walks or tending roses around her Midwest home on the Nebraska plains.
