About
Jo Horne (also w/a Anna Schmidt) is a multi-published and award-winning author of both fiction and non-fiction. Publisher's Weekly had high praise for her first WWII series--THE PEACEMAKERS—and readers agree that she has a unique ability to “produce a strong tale of hope and love in the face of insurmountable obstacles." Most recently she tackled a bio-fiction project telling the story of Monica Wichfeld, a member of the Danish resistance and a fascinating woman whose story deserves its place in history. Having left her 'day' job, Jo splits her time between Wisconsin and Florida where she enjoys weaving, creating hand-made journals, and writing in coffeehouses surrounded by life.

The "W" Word: One Woman's Journey TO & THROUGH Widowhood
In The “W” Word: One Woman’s Journey TO & THROUGH Widowhood, author Jo Horne shares her intimate journey of love, loss, and self-discovery. When her husband of 40+ years passes away after a long illness, she finds herself navigating the unfamiliar territory of widowhood. From the bittersweet passage of her husband’s last six months to the small victories of her first two years alone, she shares the ups and downs of her journey with unflinching honesty. With grace, humor, and unrelenting honesty, The “W” Word is a heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting tribute to the power of love and the human spirit. It is a compelling reminder that even in the face of unimaginable loss, we can find the strength to move forward and find joy once again.
