I have seen the Dugger shows here and there. As their lives began to implode I backed out. I read an article here and there but was never one truly invested. 

I ended 2024 reading two novels by Dugger women and the two were very different from one another. Jinger shared small snippets of her life but a majority of this book was a journey of her faith. It was her discovery of a world outside her parents strict umbrella. Jinger shares what it was like to be controlled by fear under the disguise of religion and then shares how she has discovered that religion and a relationship with God isn't about fear and control. 

While I found some of this book to be interesting and inspiring, a lot of it was reputative. Jinger goes round in circles, repeating particular lines over and over. I also found that it read almost a little too preachy for me. I am a practicing Catholic, so faith and talking of faith doesn't bother me, but this was a little too much for me, personally. 

Only 2 stars for me.
