Jemma Wallace

Jemma Wallace is a writer from Edinburgh, where she also works part-time as a project manager for the University of Edinburgh. She has one son, Archie, and the novel was inspired partly by her own experience of single parenthood and her grandmothers experience of being a single mother in the 1950s. The Truth About My Mother is Jemma's debut novel, for which she won the Trapeze and Gingerbread 'One in Four' writing competition.
