The Wedding Trees is an immigrant’s tale of love, perseverance, tradition, and remembrance.

Jo Ann lives in an 18th century house on a small farm in southern New Jersey where she and her husband raised their children. In addition to the flocks of heritage breed sheep, chickens and ducks on the farm, there is always a dog and occasionally a cat. Jo Ann practiced law for many years. She also taught law, government and history classes for ten years at a local community college. Jo Ann has been an avid reader since early childhood and loves to write. The Wedding Trees is her first book. Her second book is Stratton Hall: A House With A Name , a memoir about saving a historic house. Both books were published in 2024.
