about this author

Author Jennifer Wilson does book clubs! Check out www.jennifer-wilson.com for details.

Jennifer has worked as a Big Band disc jockey, a high-school English teacher, detasseler of corn, and a reporter and editor for newspapers and magazines. She's written for Esquire, National Geographic Traveler, No Depression, Gourmet and many other national magazines and newspapers.

RUNNING AWAY TO HOME (St. Martin's Press) is about the time she forced her family to sell their stuff and return to live in the ancient Croatian mountain village of her ancestors. A good time was had by all. Sort of. Well, define "good."

She lives and writes in Iowa, the state that gave you Barack Obama during the 2008 caucuses, and brought gay marriage to the Heartland. You're welcome.
