Joan Barnes Copeland began writing the stories of her Carolina Soap Opera upbringing in the 1990s as part of her path to healing from a wounded childhood. Most of these stories have never seen the light of day until now with the publication of her debut memoir.
“Perhaps one day, I will find the words, the energy to write about the experiences that have brought me to this peaceful place in such a way that I can help and soothe others, if only for a short while. That would be the ultimate gift to me and the ultimate gift that I could give to the Universe. If that is what You want, God, please give me the skill, the talent, the initiative, the creativity, and the opportunity to fulfill this life mission. I so want to give something back – something that truly matters.”
Joan is a member of the North Carolina Writer's Association.
