Kate’s 2¢: “The Bright Side of Darkness” by Jo Elizabeth Pinto

“The Bright Side of Darkness” by Jo Elizabeth Pinto
Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as, describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read. I’m just saying…

The Behind Our Eyes writer’s group interviewed Jo Elizabeth Pinto via telephone conference on June 21, 2020. She is a soft spoken mother of a 12-year old daughter and writes in snatches, as she finds time. Her job as a proof reader, precludes her reading and writing a lot of her own pieces.
Her father’s reading to her as a young child was how she got interested in writing and the power of words for a lifetime. Blind parents of sighted children and the issues they face was a large part of the discussion. She shared thoughts about writing and some information about how she accomplishes her work.
She hopes her self-published novel “The Bright Side of Darkness” conveys the message that it is important for adults to mentor young people. Listening is vital.
