Kerry was brought up in Peterborough and lives in Surrey with a very tolerant husband and two children. She studied at Bath University and speaks fluent Italian, Spanish and French. She also trained as a journalist at City University and later went on to write travel guidebooks for Thomas Cook. After landing her dream job working on women’s magazines, she discovered that she was unable to write about real people in case their families got upset. The Writers’ Program at the University of California (UCLA) helped her move from fact into fiction – the perfect forum for exploring human emotions without worrying about some poor mother weeping over her son’s account of his childhood.
