LISA NAPOLI
Lisa Napoli's biography of the late philanthropist, Mrs. Joan Kroc, is titled Ray & Joan: The Man Who Made the McDonald’s Fortune and the Woman Who Gave It All Away.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Lisa has lived for the past dozen years in Southern California, where she was inspired to write this book by a public artwork with a mysterious provenance. In her three decades as a journalist, she's worked for the New York Times, MSNBC, the public radio show Marketplace, among others. Her first book, Radio Shangri-La, is about the remote Kingdom of Bhutan, where she was invited to help start a radio station at the dawn of democratic rule.
