A Well Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy by Tia Levings
4.0
*Thank you to Libro.fm and Macmillan Audio for the free ALC in exchange for an honest review*
Wow. This was.... hard to listen to. Author Tia Levings details her life within the fundamentalist Quiverfull (sect?) of Christianity here in the United States. The amount of fear blasted at children, then later adults, as well as copious amounts of tolerated/accepted abuse is beyond what I had previously imagined. I feel like many people assume groups like this are an artifact of the past, rather than groups that persist today. Be prepared, if you choose to pick this up, that Levings does not shy away from detailed descriptions of the domestic abuse and religious trauma that have occurred in her life up to this point.
