She grew up in the Bronx with two older brothers, and her parents were Ben and Mattye Watson. The family moved from New York when Janice was 11 years old. Their move was to a lovely community in Verona, New Jersey. The three children finished Henry B. Whitehorne High School which was academically excellent and considered to be one of the finest schools in the Nation. From this school, Janice learned to read classical novels which she loved. This encouraged her to appreciate good film and artwork especially the Masters. Janice married after her second year of college. After graduating college, she went into a banking career, never thinking about writing. She later had two children, a son and a daughter. Janice earned a master’s degree from Fitchburg State College, Fitchburg, Massachusetts. She also became a Pastor later in life and pastored her own church in the state of Massachusetts. Janice was in her early 70s when she decided to retire. She wanted to write a book at least by the age of 80 and had gained enough knowledge to help her in this endeavor. She wanted the book to show a different side of the affects of racial injustices on White life in America opposed to only seeing how African Americans were affected. This was started in her first book “The Family Secret” and finished as a sequel in this second book titled “Joe”.view less
