Joanne Greene

A product of 1950s and ’60s Brookline, Massachusetts, where the butcher and tailor shared the block with a deli and two Chinese restaurants, Joanne was repeatedly told that little girls should be seen and not heard. Yeah, right. Her adventurous spirit led her to study theater at Northwestern and creative media at Emerson before diving headfirst into San Francisco radio and television, where she hosted and produced award-winning feminist and other timely features and talk shows for decades, while working to main- tain the perfect marriage and be an exemplary parent.

In her debut memoir, By Accident, a freak, traumatic accident set Joanne on a journey of discovering that her true power would come in the still moments, the moments when she loosened her grip and even allowed herself to crack, finding beauty and possi- bility in her fragility. By Accident is a story about discovering that control is a seductive illusion and how letting go of the need for it can reveal great strength and lead us to even firmer ground.

Today Joanne writes and podcasts from her home in Marin County, California, where she lives with her husband since 1980 and their damn near perfect goldendoodle, Moxie. Both sons and two grandkids are thriving in Los Angeles.
