Book Description
If your name is Don Imus, then hi Dad! Sorry about the stuff I wrote about you. I know you asked me not to write about you but to instead write about me. I’d like to point out that this book is about me, you just happen to be my father and since you stuck around...some of MY stories include you. Shitty luck, right? Anyway, get over it and toughen up. That’s what you always tell me to do. Besides, most of this book is about idiots and morons and how I think they should behave. So don’t worry, it’s not like I accused you of having sex with the dog or beating the cat with a wire hanger...but if I’m left out of your will, I may write a second book. xo love, your wonderful daughter, Elizabeth If you’re anyone else and you picked up this book because of its catchy title, then it’s because you have terrible manners and you are acting like an idiot, or you know someone who is and you need to buy this book for them. Whatever the deal is, enjoy. xo ez

A Well-Trained Wife
Author: Tia Levings
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250288290
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
The instant New York Times bestseller: “Today it hit me when he hit me, blood shaking in my brain. Maybe there wasn’t a savior coming. Maybe it was up to me to save me.” Recruited into the fundamentalist Quiverfull movement as a young wife, Tia Levings learned that being a good Christian meant following a list of additional life principles––a series of secret, special rules to obey. Being a godly and submissive wife in Christian Patriarchy included strict discipline, isolation, and an alternative lifestyle that appeared wholesome to outsiders. Women were to be silent, “keepers of the home.” Tia knew that to their neighbors her family was strange, but she also couldn't risk exposing their secret lifestyle to police, doctors, teachers, or anyone outside of their church. Christians were called in scripture to be “in the world, not of it.” So, she hid in plain sight as years of abuse and pain followed. When Tia realized she was the only one who could protect her children from becoming the next generation of patriarchal men and submissive women, she began to resist and question how they lived. But in the patriarchy, a woman with opinions is in danger, and eventually, Tia faced an urgent and extreme choice: stay and face dire consequences, or flee with her children. Told in a beautiful, honest, and sometimes harrowing voice, A Well-Trained Wife is an unforgettable and timely memoir about a woman's race to save herself and her family and details the ways that extreme views can manifest in a marriage.

In his timely YA debut, a best-selling novelist revisits a summer of tumult and truth for a young narrator and his war-torn family. Bicentennial fireworks burn the sky. Bob Seger growls from a transistor radio. And down by the river, girls line up on lawn chairs in pursuit of the perfect tan.

As tempers flare and his father’s nightmares rage, Eli watches from the sidelines, but soon even he cannot escape the current of conflict.
