New Article and Reviews

Yesterday an article was published in the Springfield Republican about Why I Left the Amish.  Then David was poking around on the Internet and found a review by Lisa Romeo on ForeWord Reviews that was quite a pleasant surprise to us, and another review by N. R. Williams on Good Reads. Nancy was the winner of my giveaway.


For a complete list of articles and reviews that I know of, you can visit my website by clicking here or on book icon on the right-hand side of this page.


If anyone hears of any other articles or reviews out there for my memoir, will you kindly let me know? If you want to email me, my address is salomafurlong(at)gmail.com.


Needless to say, this is all very exciting. It seems the readers are relating to the issues addressed in the book, which is immensely gratifying.

    I’m only half-way through it but I think it’s so appealing because it’s written like you’re just talking to us and it’s very easy to understand and connect with. Congrats on the success of the book!

    Congratulations! That’s what is so very rewarding for a writer, isn’t it – when our message connects with people. How exciting for you!
