What Reviewers Are Saying:

“A soft-spoken yet resounding reminder of the power plays tied to religion...Ricks’ voice is true, and her prose has a poised confidence missing from the repertoires of many established authors.” Booklist

“A moving and inspiring story of a teenage girl who rises above the constraints of her oppressive family life. Five stars." Maya Fleischmann, IndieReader.com 2012

“Ingrid’s story is amazing..This is the quintessential story of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps." Java Davis, The Kindle Book Review

“Hippie Boy: A Girl's Story is a stunning masterpiece by a first-time author. Though this is a memoir, it reads like a fictional story, with all the necessary literary elements including conflict, religious strife and character arcs. Brilliant, emotional, and aspirational, you feel empowered and inspired when you reach the last page.” – eNovelReviews.com
