I had never watched a show of the Duggar Family with their 19 kids. I had heard about it so kind of knew some of the story. This is a book by one of the older daughters Jill Duggar. She sort of broke away from the family once she was married & started having kids herself. She was also one that was abused by her older brother too. In her book she even mentions that her family was cult like, I was surprised that she wrote that because that is really the feeling I got in reading about this family. It was cult like probably worse before it got on TV, at least once on TV the kids & family had the means to see other things and I think helped at least some of them break away. The dad was the leader of this troop and wanted to continue as leader even after kids got married, while at the same time screwing the kids over with the money earned while the show was being televised. A really kind of scary situation, and sorry that he or them wrapped themselves in God and the Bible to help maintain this control.
There are 25 WL for this book on PBS so I will probably post at some point & mail off, no reason to keep this one.
