I really enjoyed this book. This couldn’t have been easy to share but her truth could help so many with similar struggles. I am not a believer of any type of Christian based faith but I still felt inspired by this story.

i enjoyed this book & found it eye opening
as someone who grew up watching this show & wanting to see this family -because i thought they were cool for having 19 kids — it was eye opening to hear part of the perspective of someone who grew up in the family
i didn’t grow up IBLP or know anything about it until a few years ago but i am grateful that Jill was able to find her freedom & get out from under them
i am sad that she had to experience so much heartache & pain
also i do not like Jim Bob for a lot of what he did & being able to hear about it from a daughter was even more heartbreaking that she had to go through this
