    PJ Temple is a psychologist who writes about generational trauma. She is the author of a memoir (rep'd by SJF Literary) about her very Indian Christian parents who are giddily arranging her marriage, while she becomes faint at the thought of telling them she’s having her secret American boyfriend’s baby. She also wrote Essays of Night and Daylight, on how identity, culture and womanhood collide. Her work is found in The Broken Spine and Write City Mag. Her dog thinks she's a guitar goddess.
