Joanna Traynor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joanna Traynor is the author of Sister Josephine, Divine and Bitch Money, all published by Bloomsbury, and an educational television producer/writer.
Joanna was born in London but raised in foster care in Chester. She is of mixed race - her mother was Irish and her father Nigerian.
Her first novel, Sister Josephine, won the SAGA Prize in 1996[1]. Joanna described the novel as: "..a semi-autobiographical thriller about a nurse and her experience of hospital life in Liverpool, with flashbacks to the emotional and sexual abuse she underwent in a northern white, working class foster family. I used my own childhood as a canvas and painted things on it."
