Joanna Michal Hoyt (she/her) is a community volunteer, farmer, baker, and writer who tries stubbornly to see and serve God in everyone. Having grown up in a conservative Christian homeschool group and a progressive unschool group, she knows and loves people on multiple sides of the country’s deep divides. She’s lived and worked with communities that farmed sustainably, welcomed refugees and migrants, and tried to help neighbors in rural New York State and rural Georgia, and now she lives and works at a Massachusetts farm which is also a residential treatment center for adults dealing with major mental illnesses. Read more of her speculative and historical fiction, often preoccupied with faith, fear, the edges of rationality and the things that connect us across divides, through links from https://joannamichalhoyt.com/
