Official Review: If You Leave This Farm by Amanda Farmer

[kdstrack]

Growing up in Central Pennsylvania where there is an abundance of Mennonite and Amish, I'm not very surprised by the revelations in this book. A lot goes on behind those closed doors.

What surprised is that Amanda opened that closed door! Thanks so much for sharing. I appreciate your comments.

I didn't grow up on the farm but I am often fascinated about stories like this one. I also share Amanda's pain when her dreams and aspirations were crushed by her father's cruelty. Parents should stand as role models and a ladder for the success of their children, not the other way round. Your review makes this book mouth-watering and more appealing to read.

Amanda's struggles make for an interesting read. I hope you will get a chance to read it and see what decisions she took. Thanks for your wonderfully kind word!

I just realized that the author's surname is Farmer. What a coincidence! Or a clever move?

Ages ago, people picked their surnames, and some chose their jobs. Ancient advertising!

I thought about that too! There is no indication that this is not her given name. I could understand if she did write under a pen name considering some of the things that are revealed. Thanks for commenting.
