Follow Me, I Don't Know Where I'm Going: Reflections on Love, Loss, and Life by a Too-Young Widow

On September 15, 2016, after playing soccer in the rain with his school-aged children, 45-year-old Tim Peterson left the park in his truck with his baby boy, followed by his middle children and wife behind. His last words to Nicki were "Follow me. I don't know where I'm going." Moments later at County Road 11 and Evergreen in Burnsville, Minnesota, their lives changed forever. Follow Me, I Don't Know Where I'm Going, blogger Nicole Venzke Peterson's first book, is at once a tender and humorous love story, a touching and enlightening glimpse into the grief of a too-young widow, and an inspirational and practical diary of a faith journey. For those who have loved, lost, or simply lived life, this emotional and spiritual book is sure to bring hope to readers.

Nicole Venzke Peterson, too-young widow, passionate and exhausted mother of three and stepmom of two, long time sufferer of control freakism, self-proclaimed smart girl who is a slow learner when it comes to life lessons, lifelong Christian who has often spoken the right answers but is now just learning to truly listen for them, is a published writer, podcaster, and blogger. Since losing her husband, father of her children, best friend, and running partner of nearly fifteen years in September 2016, Nicole finds purpose in living to tell about love, loss, and life, authentically and productively. Follow Me, I Don't Know Where I'm Going is Nicole's first book. Nicole grew up in White Bear Lake, a northeast suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota, lived and worked for fifteen years with her late husband, Tim, in and around Lakeville, a southern suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and now resides in Altoona, a small town outside of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, with her sweet kiddos and her husband, Greg. To be clear, Nicole is and always will be a Minnesota Vikings fan.
