Jatinder Cheema was born in 1942 to a Sikh family in Lahore, which was then India and now Pakistan. As a child she witnessed the violent partitioning of India. As the daughter of a civil service officer, she moved frequently and lived in many places in India. She immigrated to the States in 1971. In 1975, she moved to Ann Arbor for her graduate studies at the University of Michigan, and had a long, accomplished career as a Foreign Services Officer with the United States Agency for International Development. As a US diplomat, she lived and worked in many parts of the world. She now lives in Madison with her husband. The Black Attaché is her second book.
