A Life Interrupted is a memoir written largely by Jo Ann Pritchett, recounting her childhood, professional life and an eighteen year struggle against lymphoma. Her teaching/administrative life was a totally successful venture filled with the not-so-mundane experiences. Also, Jo Ann was a world traveler. She, her two daughters, friends and husband Ted enjoyed trips abroad and to many of the United States. Jo Ann's life was curtailed such that Ted finished the memoir with travel memories and pictures of Jo Ann.
