Helpful Score: 1

I wish I could say that I like this book but I really, really did not. I feel like there was an interesting story in there someone but the author was unable to bring it out. While her life experiences could make for a good story she's simply not a very good writer. The story seemed to randomly jump forward in huge leaps in parts while in other parts it got bogged down with repetitive detail. She makes random mentions of things like a family member going on a murderous rampage but then never mentions it again or even explaining what she meant. Then she will spend a chapter telling stories about thing she said that she thought were funny. (Spoiler alert: They aren't.) She will mention someone once 3/4 through the book say how this person was with her through so many important times in her life but then never mention them again. The way the book is written you often can't even tell if she's talking about a relative, another wife or even one of her own children. In the end I wasn't sure what the author was trying to accomplish with her book. It felt like she spent the whole thing patting herself on the back. I think she wanted "credit" for being the "best" wife while still wanting to appear to be above the whole mess. In case you can't tell this book left me with a bad taste in my mouth and a dislike of the author and I can't remember the last time that happened to me with a book. I do not recommend this book to anyone *especially* skeptics, freethinkers and non-believers who may find her subtle preaching throughout the book to be off-putting.
