Ensconced in YA turns ONE! Day 1: Highlighting Hippie Boy: A Girl's Story by Ingrid Ricks and INT giveaway

This week, I'm celebrating Ensconced in YA turning ONE! Thank you SO much for all of your support! I have a big giveaway planned, so hold onto your hats! We'll get there in a second. But FIRST...

I am SO THRILLED to re-introduce Ingrid Ricks! She has JUST made the New York Times Best seller list and was the first interview I ever conducted. I'm so incredibly proud of her. She deserves it for being just an amazing person and a really great author too.

Goodreads Book Description: What would you do if your Mormon stepfather pinned you down and tried to cast Satan out of you? For thirteen-year-old Ingrid, the answer is simple: RUN.

Ingrid Ricks grew up in a dysfunctional, untypical Mormon family with an absent, freewheeling dad and an intensely religious mother who was desperate to ensure her family's eternal salvation. For years she yearned to escape the suffocating religious atmosphere cultivated by her mother at home by joining her dad on the road as tool-selling vagabond. When her parents divorce and her mother marries Earl--a cruel authoritarian who exploits his Church-ordained priesthood powers to oppress her family-- she learns the lesson that will change her life: she can't look to others to save her; she has to save herself.

Rating: 5/5 stars
