Summary: <a href="https://i2.wp.com/www.frequency.fm/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Ally-and-Nick-03.jpg?ssl=1"></a>Our contributor Mark Newton loved Emily T. Wierenga’s striking memoir,  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GHXRKNE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00GHXRKNE&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=frequencyfm-20&amp;linkId=FMS4GDT7BPUZ4XP4" target="_blank">Atlas Girl</a> and said as much in his <a title="Book Review: Atlas Girl by Emily T. Wierenga" href="https://www.frequency.fm/atlas-girl-by-emily-t-wierenga/" target="_blank">review</a>.  So when presented with the opportunity to chat with the author herself, we jumped at it.  The result is an engaging conversation that examines the book’s central theme of finding home.  In addition, Emily discusses the role of art in her upbringing, the challenge of self-promotion, and the non-profit she recently founded, <a title="The Lulu Tree" href="http://thelulutree.com/" target="_blank">The Lulu Tree</a>.<br> Other notes:<br> <br> * You can read our review of Emily’s book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GHXRKNE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00GHXRKNE&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=frequencyfm-20&amp;linkId=FMS4GDT7BPUZ4XP4" target="_blank">Atlas Girl</a>, here: <a title="Atlas Girl Book Review" href="https://www.frequency.fm/atlas-girl-by-emily-t-wierenga/" target="_blank">https://www.frequency.fm/atlas-girl-by-emily-t-wierenga/</a>.  Joe recorded an audio version of the review and, apparently, pronounces Emily’s last name correctly.<br> * Dan and Joe discussed the app PrayerMate.  Here are the links: Android (<a title="PrayerMate App - Android" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.geero.prayermate" target="_blank">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.geero.prayermate</a>) and iTunes App Store (<a title="PrayerMate App - iTunes" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prayermate-christian-prayer/id434815549?mt=8" target="_blank">https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prayermate-christian-prayer/id434815549?mt=8</a>)<br> * Since we last posted a full episode, we’ve introduced Quick Reviews of new music releases.  Check them out now – good, bad, or otherwise: <a title="Quick Reviews" href="https://www.frequency.fm/category/quick-review/" target="_blank">https://www.frequency.fm/category/quick-review/</a><br> * Leave a review on iTunes.  We’ve provided the link to both the US and Canadian sites:  (US: <a title="Frequency on iTunes (US)" href="https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/frequency.fm/id599474294?mt=2" target="_blank">https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/frequency.fm/id599474294?mt=2</a>; Canada: <a title="Frequency on iTunes (Canada)" href="https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/frequency.fm/id599474294?mt=2" target="_blank">https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/frequency.fm/id599474294?mt=2</a><br> <br> Quick Links for Emily Wierenga:<br> <br> * Website: <a title="Emily's Website" href="http://www.emilywierenga.com/" target="_blank">http://www.emilywierenga.com/</a><br> * Twitter: <a title="Emily on Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/emily_wierenga" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/emily_wierenga</a><br> * Facebook: <a title="Emily on Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/emilytwierenga" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/emilytwierenga</a><br> * The Lulu Tree: <a title="The Lulu Tree" href="http://thelulutree.com/" target="_blank">http://thelulutree.com/</a><br> <br> Quick Links for Frequency:<br> <br> * <a href="http://twitter.com/frequencyfm">Frequency on Twitter</a><br> * <a href="http://www.facebook.com/frequencyfm">Frequency on Facebook</a><br> * <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/104495862743837683269/posts">Frequency on Google+</a><br> * Dan on<a href="http://twitter.com/danthomsonMM"> Twitter</a>,<a href="https://plus.google.com/115844609215380690494/posts"> Google+</a>,
