| | Praise for Crazy Quilt
“A little book, but a powerful one.”
~~ Allene Martin, KYYS/KQRC Radio, Kansas City “Yoder shows that healing is not a linear path from ‘problem’ to ‘solution,’ but an ever-deepening exploration of past and present, body and spirit, dependence and independence, fantasy and reality. We can all learn from her journey.”
~~ Susan Piver, Best-Selling Author, The Hard Questions
“An amazing journey of one young woman’s coming to terms with the clashes between her heritage and her future ideal for herself. Yoder evokes life within her Mennonite culture with vividness and clarity. What makes her book so unusual is the way she turns her particular American past into a story that speaks to us all.”
~~ Barbara Probst Solomon, Author, Smart Hearts in the City
“Crazy Quilt is like that good friend who dares to state the truth out loud – and laugh with you about it. Yoder’s memoir is witty, whimsical, and a great read.”
~~ Lee Eshleman, Actor, Ted & Lee TheaterWorks
“This book is written by one woman but is the story of all who have faced challenges. Here you will find courage and hope for your own life. I urge you to take Crazy Quilt home and read it.”
~~ Joel Rothschild, Author, Signals
“A joyous, thoughtful exploration of faith, history, reinvention. Yoder defines forgiveness and maturity through a generous narrative of her grandparents’ timeline and her own life at a turning point.”
~~ Gwendolen Gross, Author, Getting Out
“Yoder started healing when she broke out of her emotional solitary confinement and into the arms of her loving and supporting family. Hers is a path that others can follow.”
~~ Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D., Author, The Miracle of Magnesium |
