When Josie was six, her parents decided to have another child and were given the son they'd always wanted. Three years later, he fell and hurt himself on the playground. The doctors couldn't stop the bleeding... it seemd as though little Andrew had inherited the hemophilia that managed to skip over his sister.

After that, her parents became reclusive and negligent. Eventually, Josie took it upon herself to run away. She was twelve. Her parents never even looked for her. They moved away and started a brand new life somewhere else.

On the streets, Josie learned a lot through the school of hard knocks. She started out as a pick-pocket and then, once puberty hit, eventually started turning tricks. She was picked up by child services before things ever went too far and was placed with a wonderful woman by the name of Sophia Kinsey in Shreveport (which is a long way from Josie's hometown of Savannah, GA). Eventually, Josie's parents were found and they gave up their rights to her so that Sophia could adopt her.

She went back to school and managed to graduate on time, after a lot of catching up, and even went on to college (University of Georgia) where she studied English and Education (with a goal of one day becoming a teacher).

A year after she finished college, Sophia passed away and left some property in... Bon Temps, of all places... to her adopted daughter. Not yet having much of a job and certainly ready to start a new life of her own, Josie packed it all up and moved.

She now lives by herself...well, unless you count her dog.
