Paperback. For the first time, discover the unedited truth about the Duggars, the traditional Christian family that captivated the nation on TLCs hit show 19 Kids and Counting. Jill Duggar and her husband Derick are finally ready to share their story, revealing the secrets, manipulation, and intimidation behind the show in this no-holds barred (People) instant New York Times bestseller. Jill and Derick knew a normal life wasnt possible for them. As a star on the popular TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting, Jill grew up in front of viewers who were fascinated by her familys way of life. She was the responsible, second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelles nineteen kids; always with a baby on her hip and happy to wear the modest ankle-length dresses with throat-high necklines. She didnt protest the strict model of patriarchy that her family followed, which declares that men are superior, that women are expected to be wives and mothers and are discouraged from attaining a higher education, and that parental authority over their children continues well into adulthood, even once they are married. But as Jill got older, married Derick, and they embarked on their own lives, the red flags became too obvious to ignore. For as long as they could, Jill and Derick tried to be obedient family membersbut now theyre raising a family of their own, and theyre done with the secrets. Thanks to time, tears, therapy, and blessings from God, they have the strength to share their journey. Theirs is a complicated, remarkably relatable story of faith and family loyalty (Salon) and a moving example of how to find healing through honesty.
