Lorilee Craker used to be quite dense on the subject of money, so much so she laughed out loud when someone suggested she write a book about Amish money secrets. But since she hopped in that metaphorical buggy, in the summer fo 2009, she’s been learning how to share, save, and make shoefly pie (it’s cheap: six ingredients!). When she’s not scoping out thrift stores and garage sales, Lorilee is usually hanging out in her big old house with her husband, three kids, and four pets (ie: three too many!). She’s the author of 11 books, including the New York Times bestseller “Through the Storm” with Lynne Spears, and “A is for Atticus: Baby Names from Great Books,” featured in People magazine. For the last fifteen years, she’s also moonlighted as an entertainment and features writer for The Grand Rapids Press in glamorous Grand Rapids, MI.
