challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

If you’re a mom, you should read this book. If you’re a girl who grew up in purity culture (even if you weren’t very negatively impacted like me; it was just “there”) you should read this book. If you feel harmed by toxic teachings or toxic churches, you should read this book. And hey if you’re a guy you should read this book too. Read what we grew up with—did you know all this? If you’re a teen read this too. Don’t let the baggage we were handed (wittingly or unwittingly) take root in you. You are loved by God, and you deserve better.
