Counting the Cost by Jill Duggar

littleredwinter's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

Slowly and steadily Jill Duggar and her ghostwriter weave together a narrative that will be heart-wrenchingly familiar to those with experience in high control religion. It’s a look behind the curtain at the Duggars specifically and a commentary on the broader impact of the IBLP, high control religion, and children as content.
