Counting the Cost Hardcover | by Jill Duggar

 

Did you ever watch 19 Kids and counting and the shows before it? Did the family ever give you an ick feeling yet you felt compelled to watch it? Do you know who Josh Duggar is? How about Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar? If so this book is for you. 

Jill Duggar is the second oldest daughter of the family and married to Derick Dillard. Counting the Cost is Jill's memoir. She reveals what it was like growing up in the Duggar family (good and bad) and the battles she had to fight in  order to find her peace and pull away from her controlling parents and the IBLP. 

Jill is full of courage and candor. She opens up and reveals her pain, frustrations and what it was like to grow up behind the cameras. Jill also  gives insights into her life as an adult and figuring out what is best for her and her family even if it goes against her parents whishes. 

Be prepared for a fast emotional read. You'll be left wanting to give Jill the comfort she deserves.
