Joan Goldstein Parker grew up in New York City, where the question, "Where are you going for Seder?" was always answered the same way: at her home, where three or four generations of extended family read the Haggadah and shared the meal together each year. Because it is so family-centric, the Passover Seder is her favorite Jewish tradition. Joan has been in the publishing business all of her working life. After holding executive positions in several multinational firms, she founded her own literary agency. She and her husband live in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. No Seder Without You is her first book.
