Customer Reviews

So overwhelmingly good!

I flipped through until something caught my eye and started bawling my eyes out within 2 minutes while walking out the door. 😭 My highlighter is wearing out. Read with tissues on hand. I don't have any daughters- this is all speaking to the unknown hurt from my past adolescence. Things HAVE to change for the next generation. The lessons we accepted without a second thought are just putrid! I wish I could get everyone to read it! I think it would change the world. This will challenge your worldview for sure! Be open to it. Hear the stories. Listen to the evidence. Challenge your thoughts.

A Breath of Fresh Air

After breaking my engagement with my college boyfriend, I concluded that I was doing something wrong, so I turned to the popular Christian relationship books of the late 90’s. All those books got me was an abusive marriage and a subsequent divorce. This pink book is a breath of fresh air. My first read through was so healing for younger me. I will be reading it again, only with my teenage daughter, so she has the healthy teachings that I didn’t have. If you grew up with the toxicity of purity culture, you need this book. If you have a daughter, granddaughter, niece, or other girl in your life, you need this book.
