Her first book, 'Managing the Quarterlife Crisis: Facing life’s choices in your 20s and 30s', was published in 2003. Her signature style in creative non-fiction, examining the multiple voices that collide in any single biography, is evidenced in such bestselling biographies as 'On the Other Side of Shame: An Extraordinary Account of Adoption and Reunion' and the surrogacy story 'Winging It: Jonathan Kaplan’s Journey from World-class Ref to Rookie Solo Dad'. Joanne lives between the mountain and the sea in Cape Town, South Africa with her husband and three children. 'Zephany' is her sixth book.view less
