Joan Hephzibah is a mum with two girls and dreams of a gentler life. She holds an HND Quantity Surveyor, BSc Hons in Geography and a Master’s degree holder in Health Geography. She had worked with various organisations for several years before picking up her pen to develop her creative skills. She has dealt with personal loss, fears of failures and insecurity in relating with people. These experiences have informed her depiction of a single intelligent lady under pressure to conform to the defined ideals of what relationship really means.
