A lot of the drama in this book is driven by poor judgment and lack of planning.
Let's get a homestead in Canada or somewhere, but let's not check out the homesteading laws. That should be fun. If it isn't let's not bring sufficient money to get us there. What could possibly go wrong.
Our toddlers have whooping cough. I bet we can save money if we camp out in the rain!
Let's partner with someone we don't know. Maybe we can experiment with alcohol and various weapons.

If that is bad enough the narrator does nothing to make herself sympathetic. She obviously dislikes her infant step daughters. Both she and her husband play with firearms and explosives in situations that probably had a civilized solution.

She refers to "God's will" as verification when she gets her way, but never seems to be on a quest to see what God's will may be or to live it if she knows.

She doesn't seem to like other people, or her life, or much of anything or anyone.
