Jolina Petersheim is the best-selling author of The Outcast, which Library Journal called "outstanding... fresh and inspirational" in a starred review and named one of the best books of 2013. That book also became an ECPA, CBA, and Amazon best-seller and was featured in Huffington Post's Fall Picks, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, and the Tennessean. Jolina and her husband share the same unique Amish and Mennonite heritage that originated in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. After years of living in the mountains of Tennessee, they moved to a farm in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin, where they live with their two young daughters.
