Well you know my avoidance of Amish fiction for the most part! I will, however make an exception for the very talented Jolina Petersheim. At first, I wanted to read her debut novel simply because it was a retelling of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, one of my favourite books from high school. It didn’t take me long, however, to fall in love with Jolina’s characters, the setting, the evocative prose and the poignant story that is The Outcast.

It’s now my delight to introduce you to Jolina’s second novel, The Midwife – one I’m planning to read soon – with a fun giveaway from Tyndale’s Crazy4Fiction team!

Let’s be honest . . . a caffeine boost never hurts. For author Jolina Petersheim, it’s especially helpful to have her favorite drink on hand when she’s racing toward a manuscript deadline. In celebration of the release of her sophomore novel, The Midwife, Tyndale’s Crazy4Fiction team would love to enable your caffeine addiction and give you a taste of Jolina’s beautiful prose.

To hear from Jolina on her go-to caffeine boost, stop by www.crazy4fiction.com. Those who know me well may laugh that I’m promoting a caffeine fix, given I don’t drink coffee or tea at all! I’ll dabble in an occasional Chai Latte if I’m feeling really, really cold, although my current record being maybe around 6 per year!
