New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. Image is freely licensed. Regarding the hook, the first hook is good, but women's "firsts" hooks are a little trite and also don't tell us much about the subject. What do you think about something a little more hooky?- ALT2: ... that LDS missionary Mary Ellen Edmunds (pictured) writes inspiring and humorous books on living a happier life, including Thoughts for a Bad Hair Day and MEE Speaks: But Does She Have Anything to Say?

Searching for the title of each book produces results. ALT3 is certainly OK but ALT2 is better if the need for an inline citation for the title of the book is deemed unnecessary. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:18, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
