This is just about the worst book that a woman, young or old could read. It's all about being subservient to men, awful?

Unanswered Questions (1)

Anyone else get a disconnect between the book and her blog? Began reading her blog after the book. What she experienced was horrific, surviving should give one a huge desire to embrace life. I get she is firmly rooted in her faith but she seems almost fearful of living life by cloaking her family within the church. Most sad is not encouraging kids to get involved with sports, music, etc. in their new school. Sad.
