I expected this to be some good Christian "save yourself for your husband" bullshit with a side of "God will send you a man who can fulfill you." And a toxic cherry on top called "Here's how to control and manipulate men with sex." I fully expected to recycle this book.
I am not and could never.
I loved this.
The author was so raw, and real, and sincere! "My mom was an alcoholic," "I'm the product of an affair," "My Dad was a hoarder," "my husband cheated and it ruined our lives, so we had to start all over from scratch without the support of our church". A super shitty church. My words, not hers. Even "I thought about cheating on my husband, then I understood him." And GAWD. Leaving her youth group babies. That's what really drew my attention. Someone else knows what it's like to have babies you have no true claim to ripped out of your arms. She even went through the nightmares! Someone gets me!!!
Listen, I love reading religious texts from all religions. Yes, I am Christian. Far too many of the theology books I read targeted towards young women were dog shit, and tried to teach you how to lie on your back and think of Mother England. Be subservient to your husband, and all that. *Coughs in Proverbs 31* But THIS. This was like "Everything can go wrong, and God can still build you a beautiful life."
I hope the young lady that put the book her youth pastors gave her in a book drop is okay. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I think I'll put it back in case she comes back for it.
