I have recently become reinterested in the Duggar's story, and so I wanted to pick up this book.
"Becoming Free Indeed" is a book that explores how author Jinger Duggar Vuolo has worked to separate her love for God and belief in him from her traumatic religious upbringing. Jinger loved her childhood and her family, but as she got older, she began to question if the God she believed in would really require the strict practices and beliefs preached to her under the Gothard teachings.
This was a really quick read, and I ended up listening to it as an audiobook. The audiobook is narrated by Jinger, which I really appreciated. I love when authors narrate their own books, especially nonfiction, because it feels like they are sharing their life story in a more intimate way.
I do not think this book is ground-breaking, but I think it is inspirational to hear how someone can maintain their faith and find their way after the strict cult-like upbringing they had.
