Jill did an amazing job of capturing the harm that organized religion has inflicted on her family while holding such grace and love for everyone involved. 

As someone who has lived under a family that idolized the Duggar lifestyle, this was both hard and relieving to listen to and understand more thoroughly why my parents made the decisions that they did.

Jill ate and left no crumbs. This book was wonderfully written and beautifully narrated. You can feel the trama she went through, even if you haven't dealt with religious trauma, you feel her pain and struggle.

I think it was a good insight to have on the Duggar family and how the main villains remain the parents (and the oldest son) and the religion they raised their children in. There were many opportunities for the parents to do better by their children, but they were ultimately selfish masquerading as self-righteous evangelical christians.
