APPENDIX A
APPENDIX B

Many years ago, after Lorelei had shared some of her former Mormon beliefs, an
astonished friend said, “You should write a book—and call it From Mormonism to Mermaidism!”

What a great idea!

It took more than ten years for Lorelei to write her memoir—with just a slight title change–From Mormon to Mermaid. When Dog Ear Publishing published it, they presented her with their coveted
Award of Literary Excellence.
And that award was just the beginning.

on Amazon

For From Mormon to Mermaid

“Reading this book, I felt as if I were watching a chrysalis escaping an unholy detention and blossoming forth in full color and freedom.“

“From Mormon to Mermaid is a must read!“

“Most memorable line in this book: ‘Either way, I was still on my knees.’“

“Be warned. You must schedule enough time to read this book, because you won’t be able to put it down.“

“This is a heart-wrenching but delightful book.“

“Lorelei’s writing is heartbreaking because of her sincerity and vulnerability.“

“The aquatic metaphor, sustained throughout, never got old“

“I suspect the image of the dolphins of Thought and Logic (her “sidekicks”) will stay with me for a very long time.“

“I’m so so grateful for women like Lorelei who inspire me to create my own waves and a big splash by telling my own experiences.“

“A book of trials and courage that flows like a sea current.“

“Five stars for this honest, hopeful, provocative and beautifully written memoir.”

“From Mormon to Mermaid is an examination of courage in the face of oppression — a timely treatise.“

“I love how this book is written! The doctrine and teachings are referenced in the back of the book supporting the author’s story!“

“Well written and inspiring.“

“The information about Mormon history, doctrine, and social reality was impressively well researched and accurate.“
