More Kindred Connections

In my recent post “Kindred Connections” I wrote about my long-ago and lately rekindled connection to John and Pat Anderson. A friend of Pat Anderson’s named Lynn Kimmerle, recently called me about reviewing my book. She let me know she received a galley copy from my publisher a few days ago, so I thought it would be a while before she would get to reviewing it.  But only two days later (today) she let me know that she reviewed the book on her blog, Monarch Book Reviews. When I read it, I hardly knew what to say. Not only was the review sympathetic, it was also insightful and beautifully written. It is a true compliment and I am very touched.
I love butterflies and everything they symbolize and it feels very fitting that the gorgeous photo of a monarch (taken by Lynn Kimmerle) is right next to my review.  
You can visit Monarch Book Reviews to read the review of Why I Left the Amish.

    Katie, thank you for reading and commenting on the book review. I can’t wait for my book to come out, either. I’ll have autographed copies for sale from my website just as soon as they’re available.
