Trudi (White) Johnson was born and grew up in St. John’s, though her family’s roots are in Bonavista Bay. In addition to writing fiction set in Newfoundland, she likes to garden, read murder mysteries, and obsess about hockey and baseball. Through her writing, she hopes her readers will come to understand the special connections that we all have to our past and appreciate how those who came before us shaped our lives. She is currently working on a sequel to From a Good Home. Trudi lives in St. John’s with her husband, Albert.
