Not only does transformation take place within her books through subject matter, but on a wider level, the reader feels part of her internal transformation. Later in Furlongs life she wrote the Wise Child trilogy – a fantasy world set in medieval Scotland. Her book Visions & Longings: Medieval Women Mystics revolts against a biblical legacy on women. Her biographies include the medieval Saint Thérèse of Lisieux and the 60’s counter culture revolutionary Alan Watts. Transformation is an overarching theme throughout Furlongs’ oeuvre. Throughout Traveling In Furlong explores how a (widely) varying spectrum of Poets, Artists and Philosophers have metaphysically asked, “what is the journey and where does it take us”. Monica Furlong states on the inside cover of Traveling In – part diary, part rambling LSD trip, “the religious man is the one who believes that life is about making some kind of journey”. The theme is based on Monica Furlong of her book: Traveling In and for her thoughts on exploring a more spiritual of consciousness.
