Publisher Description
In this personal and moving memoir, Saloma Miller Furlong (Lomie) traces the genesis of her desire for freedom and education and chronicles her conflicted quest for independence. She recalls her painful childhood in a family defined by her father's mental illness, her brother's brutality, her mother's severe punishments, and the austere traditions of the Amish-traditions she struggled to accept for years before making the difficult decision to leave the community. Eloquently told, Liberating Lomie is a revealing portrait of life within this frequently misunderstood community.
