Janice Page

Joining me on Writers at Work is Janice Page, author of YEAR OF THE WATER HORSE, a wise and often amusing memoir about her melting pot family, in particular its girls and women, for most of which are Janice's mom, Janice herself, her mother-in-law, and her adopted daughter, Zoe. Amazing how a well-told story about someone else's family can remind us of our own. With YEAR OF THE WATER HORSE, Janice continues a fruitful career in books and journalism. She's a cultural and arts editor at The Washington Post. She was a deputy managing editor at The Boston Globe, charged with publications of books that bore the Globe's brand, including several bestsellers. She was on the staff of the L.A. Times, the Providence Journal, and freelanced for The New York Times. Janice tells us much about herself in YEAR OF THE WATER HORSE. Let's see if there's more to discover.
