English born and educated, Barbara Claypole White is the author of five novels. She lives in North Carolina, in the U.S., with her family.

Barbara writes hopeful stories about troubled families with a healthy dose of mental illness. Much of her work has been inspired by her poet/musician son’s courageous battles against obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Her debut novel, The Unfinished Garden, won the 2013 Golden Quill Contest for Best First Book, and The In-Between Hour was chosen by SIBA (the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance) as a Winter 2014 Okra Pick. Her third novel, The Perfect Son, was picked for Amazon’s Kindle First Program and became a Goodreads Choice Awards 2015 Nominee for Best Fiction. Echoes of Family, another darkly quirky tale, was published in 2016 (Adapted from Amazon and the author's website.)
