This was an interesting audio book. Listening to it, I would often forget that I was listening to a memoir and not a novel. The author overcomes many obstacles and does eventually learn to stand up for herself. I am glad to have heard her story.

I wish I would have read this book rather than listen to it. I think it might be just me but I didn't enjoy this narration. The voice felt overly dramatic for a memoir to me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

Liked the old Christian values of not having a baby born of wedlock but hated that and waited that long to escape her husband .
