Content Warnings: In addition to our usual barnyard language, today’s episode includes discussion or mention of: domestic violence, mental health struggles, miscarriage, misogyny (both internalized and externalized!), & polygamy
Spoiler alert: this book talks about domestic violence.
I do not condone domestic violence at all!
But this book is an eye-opener though.
A must read!!
