About the Author

John W. James was born in Danville, Illinois. He was thrust unwillingly into the arena of grief and recovery when his three-day-old son died in 1977. John lives in Los Angeles with his Emmy Award-winning wife, Jess Walton — the evil "Jill Abbott" on The Young & the Restless — and spends most of his free time with daughter Allison and son Cole.
