What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Leeana’s story is extraordinary, and so is her storytelling ability. As I finished Found Art, I felt like I had made a friend and that together we had traveled long distances, both around the world and into a deeper understanding of what it means to be a woman of faith---many different kinds of faith. Her story is at once so foreign and so familiar, because the power of her writing is so compelling.” -- Shauna Niequist
