Saloma Miller Furlong
Hello Miriam,
It is touching to know that you have read "Bonnet Strings" a second time.
Yes, for years David and I had a cordial relationship with my parents. We would visit them at least once a year. My father died in 2004 and my mother in 2005. In my first book, I write about traveling back to Ohio for my father's funeral. I was amazed at the reception I received from my former community members. I also traveled back for my mother's funeral.
My relationship with my siblings is difficult. Only my two brothers stayed Amish. Even though my sisters all left, they did not approve of my first book. And my older sister died of cancer in 2009. So essentially I am an island in my family, with sporadic communications with one sister.
