About the author

Fanny Barry is the pen name of Joanne Barry, a Boston native who has described herself as a writer, artist, engineer, and yoga teacher. Public profiles and author pages connect her with Tulum, Mexico, where she rebuilt her life and developed her work as an author.

Her writing includes the memoir Map of Life and Beauty and the Eco Woman fiction series. Across those books, she presents stories shaped by self-discovery, resilience, and care for the natural world.

Barry has also shared that surviving breast cancer was a turning point in her life. That sense of starting over and creating something meaningful seems to run through both her personal story and her books.
