Mary Ann Kinsinger was raised Old Order Amish in Somerset
County, Pennsylvania. She met and married her husband, whom she
knew from school days, and started a family. After they chose to
leave the Amish church, Mary Ann began a blog, A Joyful
Chaos, as a way to capture her warm memories of her childhood
for her own children. From the start, this blog found a ready
audience and even captured the attention of key media players, such
as the influential blog AmishAmerica and the New York Times.
She lives in Pennsylvania.
Suzanne Woods Fisher is the bestselling author of The
Choice, The Waiting, The Search, The
Keeper, and The Haven, as well as nonfiction books about
the Amish, including Amish Peace. Her interest in the
Anabaptist cultures can be directly traced to her grandfather, who
was raised in the Old Order German Baptist Brethren Church in
Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Suzanne is a Christy Award finalist
and a Carol Award finalist. She is the host of internet radio show
Amish Wisdom and a columnist for Christian Post and
Cooking & Such magazines. She lives in California.
