Jo's new Book "The Gift of Life" is released in April, here is a little bit about the book.

In Australia, 1400 people are currently on the waitlist for an organ transplant. In 2017 organ donations transformed the lives of 1675 people – but just as there are two halves of the heart, there are two sides to every story …

In her latest novel, Josephine Moon seeks to give a voice to each of these stories. Alternating between the viewpoints of an organ recipient and the donor’s family, The Gift of Life is a profound exploration of the resilience and triumph of the human spirit. As a writer it is the unheard voice that compels Josephine - ‘For me, looking for the untold stories brings a richness of narrative to play
with.’

Gabby has been given another chance at life, now all she has to do is be brave enough to live it. Krystal has lost sight of her future and is haunted by secrets after her husband’s death. Together they must find their way—but will their hearts lead them in the right direction?

The Gift of Life is a rich novel delving into the complexities of life, of love and of loss. Bestselling author Josephine Moon has once more penned a stirring and heartfelt contemplation of humanity, the bonds that connect us and the mysteries of life.
