Joni Rodgers is, first and foremost, a storyteller. She's also a critically acclaimed novelist and New York Times selling ghostwriter. She's worked with many well known people including Paris Hilton, Justin Bieber and Elizabeth Smart. Her ability to translate people's paths into a compelling narrative is unparalleled.
"As a novelist, memoirist, and collaborator, I’m dedicated to storytelling that makes an impact and provokes thought. I believe in the power of a parable and in the art of memoir as a sort of cosmic cartography. We each have a small piece of the map of human experience; sharing our stories, we bring clarity and empathy to a collective understanding."
The list of Joni's publications is long. Her drive comes partly from being given just five years to live due to a seemingly dire non-Hodgkins lymphoma. "What can I do in just five years? What type of handprint of loving kindness could I leave for my children?" she pondered.
The answer lies in her extensive list of publications, crafting powerful memoirs that resonate with all of us. And that five year window is thankfully in reset mode.
