Announcing the Winner

ira-book-cover3
I am happy to announce the winner of the giveaway for a copy of Growing up Amish by Ira Wagler — KATHRYN! Congratulations! I’m sure you will enjoy this well-crafted story. If you’ll email me with your address: salomafurlong[at]gmail[dot]com, I will forward it on to Ira.

For those of you who did not win the book, I suggest you visit Amazon, where Growing up Amish costs less than $10.00 — very affordable. I urge you to buy a copy for yourself, and another for a friend. Ira’s book carries an important message, written from the first-ever (in mainstream publishing) former Amish male voice. Growing up Amish is well written, and it demystifies many aspects of Amish culture while conveying what Ira values of his former lifestyle.

Happy reading!
