review 1: This book took us through some very hard times in the writers life. She has a wonderful way of writing, reminds me of Ann Voscamps writing. Emily was raised by a Dad who was a Pastor and a homemaker Mom who homeschooled her four children. At age 9 Emily stopped eating and struggled with an eating disorder for years. Then her mom is struck down by a brain tumor but through all of it she is learning to trust and lean on God.
review 2: MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOKEmily Wierenga left her home looking for a like that she wanted, or thought she wanted. Her travels took her to may different places in the world. In searching for the life Emily thought she wanted, she gives vivid details of her new life. She spent time in Brazzaville, Congo, and this was interesting to read
... more about because I have heard a lot about the Congo. She also spent time in Japan, China, the Middle East, but she still couldn’t find what she was really looking for. It wasn’t until sheEmily Wierenga tells her story, a very difficult story with a lot of raw emotions as she so vividly tells her story. She goes through a lot of heartaches and difficulties as she searches for what she is looking for in life. This is not an easy book to read because are Emily pours her heart out and tell everything in this book. I love the way Emily is reaching out to everyone, telling her story in a way that it can help others. This is a great book for everyone to read, but especially the younger generation. Reading Atlas Girl could help you in making the right choices in your life. I highly recommend this book to everyone!!I received this book from Blogging for Books to read and review.
