ⓘ About Jo Goodman
Author Jo Goodman is also a counselor that works with families and children in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia. She gets inspired by the strength, perseverance, and courage the kids show on a daily basis. Jo feels privileged that the kids trust her enough to tell their stories to her; the ones that only they can tell. She grew to really enjoy writing romance novels with a happy ending, because as a child care worker, she found that the only script in life that she could control was the one that she herself wrote out. At one point in time, she thought that marine biology was going to be her field of study. Seasickness made her change her course. She lives in Colliers, West Virginia. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of McClellan Family Books series, Jo Goodman has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
