Memoir-style stories interspersed with educational observations about American marriage culture with a dash of church shame. Less about Christian fundamentalism so much as general societal expectations. Lenz maps out the journey of reclaiming individual identity, as a woman who had spent her whole life trying to be good instead of being herself.
Gift it to the women you know in unhappy marriages who need the courage to leave.
