Description
A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy Tia Levings recounts her harrowing experience within the fundamentalist Quiverfull movement, where being a good Christian meant adhering to a strict set of rules and principles. As a young wife, Tia was expected to be a submissive and silent partner, hiding her true feelings and desires behind a façade of obedience. But as she navigated the complexities of her marriage, Tia began to realize that she had a choice: conform to the expectations of her community or risk everything to protect herself and her children. With unflinching honesty, Tia shares her story of resistance and survival, detailing the ways in which extreme views can manifest in a marriage. This powerful memoir is a testament to the strength and resilience of a woman who refused to be silenced, and a warning about the dangers of patriarchal ideologies. A deeply personal and thought-provoking account, A Well-Trained Wife is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the complexities of faith, family, and identity.
