Reviews for Sex, Tears, and Orgasms
Intimate and unflinching, Sex, Tears, and Orgasms addresses lingering trauma in concert with the tumult of married life."
─Foreword Clarion Review
In Sex, Tears, And Orgasms, Lawrelynd writes about the intense desire and sexual energy between her and Shane. It’s intense. It’s real. It makes one blush.
She also writes about the fidelity, patience, and warmth of her husband’s love for her. It’s attractive, sound, and honest, making someone want a man who will love them forever.
She narrates about the first time she had an orgasm with her complete womanhood and its explosiveness. It’s an all-consuming fire. It makes someone want to make love.
Then, she illustrates touching Jesus on the Host. It's the perfect supernatural and infinite romance between her soul, mind, and body like God intended for us all to experience in our lives in preparation for what is to come—our heavenly resting place with Him for all eternity.
Her intense, surreal thirst, her desire for Jesus when she went to the front of the pews in the church, was undeniably much more potent than any romantic encounter with Shane or her husband Harvey's strong arms. Then, with unfailing honesty, Lawrelynd writes about the moment she touched Christ, whose garment healed her from her bleeding. She frankly described the gentle touch of Jesus on her lips when she received the Eucharist. It felt like she was frankly having a true first full orgasm for the first time. It is beautiful and surreal, so much so any human would want to be a catholic to receive Jesus Christ in such a way every day!
Reading this memoir gave me a sense of the Truth about a real God in all aspects of our human existence. Lawrelynd also writes about how God waited for her here in the Tabernacle and knows her husband waited for her to find her way back to him and her two beautiful sons."

Reviews for Swimming in the Red Sea
★★★★★ Breath-taking!
This is an incredible, roller-coaster, gut-wrenching, life-affirming story. It left me breathless (that someone could survive so much), and also, despite the author's descriptions of such profoundly difficult experiences, what shines through is her incredible spirit and capacity to fight for all that is good in life. The book left me filled with the most profound sense of what is possible for the human spirit. I am in awe that she has been able to document and share her story. What a gift for anyone who wants to better understand the experience of immigrant women, and just the capacity of the human soul to overcome the most cruel forms of abuse and oppression."
