I had mentioned to my friend that I was number 37 on the waitlist in the library to read your book. The library only ordered 18 copies.She surprised me yesterday by buying me your book and I am so grateful to her. I can’t wait to read it.
Lucky. I was number 300 on a waitlist when I tried to get a hold with my library 😂 that was before the book was even released! I ended up just buying it because I couldn’t wait that long. I just now checked the waitlist again out of curiosity and it had me at number 891!
@@emerald_rabbit 😮 oh my goodness. So glad you now have it. I would have probably have had to wait till after Christmas to read her book. It’s so good that it’s in high demand
Amazing! I bought it the other day on Amazon and I've read it each night... staying up too late😂 Jill has a way with words. For anyone being negative. Read the book with an open mind. This book isn't what some may think.. it's her realization that there was serious issues in the church her parents raised her in. Issues the show brought along..as well. She actually explains well and shows the love and respect she has managed to keep for her parents... along with forgiveness...
I’ve followed you and your family from the beginning. I always thought your family was different, but interesting to watch. I remember reading in your parents’ book about how you were raised. At first, I admired your parents. Then, the stories began coming out. I’m so sorry for what you and your siblings went through. No wonder it was so hard when you began advocating for yourself. Derick has been such a wonderful husband to you. You sure hit the jackpot. I read your book in one evening, and you were very courageous in sharing your story. I hope you find the healing and happiness that you deserve.
I'm extremely impressed with how mature, respectful, self-aware and articulate you and your husband are as you process the choices your parents made for you. Your dad should have paid all of you for your work. To declare on tax forms to the IRS that you were paid, when you were not is very deceitful... and probably a crime to the IRS of fraud. I'm so glad you and your family seem to be so mentally healthy and able to be free and to set appropriate boundaries where necessary.
Thrilled to have supported you by purchasing a beautifully told story of your personal truth. God bless your family, Jill. Thanking God that he sent Derrick into your life. The truth will always set you free!
I am so proud of you two. There is nothing like being able to tell your story and your truths without someone stopping you. Awesome job and I can see this peace in both of you. Love you both.
I just finished the book the other day and I couldn't put it down! I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to read how far you've come and what an amazing and supportive husband Derick is. As a Christian who struggled for many years due to fear and abuse it was nice to see I'm not alone. Keep reaching for the stars Jill, you are loved by so many!
I'm so proud of you sweet Jill & hubby. I see the serious needed healing in your face. I have happy tears for your courage to write this book & sad tears for what you went through. Hope to see more of you on utube. Bless you, hubby, & children.❤🎉
I was raised the same way pretty much that you were Jill. We weren’t associated with IBLP and we couldn’t cut our hair, wear jewelry, had to wear dresses, no make up…etc. My husband was raised the same way. I’m so glad that you found your voice. When my daughter was in the 3rd grade I went to school for a program (I didn’t homeschool mine) but we still practiced the way e we were raised. She was a tomboy and she was turning flips up on stage (not a part of the program 😂) but I came home and told my husband that I would ńot go against him, but we needed to pray about letting her wear pants to school because all those dads were there. We studied and prayed and realized that we were following a lot of man’s traditions instead of the Bible. I still wore dresses all the time, then a few years later I started wearing them around the house and you could not have paid me to go out of the house because of what people would think. That’s been 30 years ago and occasionally if I’m running to our local DG and it’s cold I’ll leave them on. I’m 57 years old and I still deal with that in my head. I recently started therapy and it’s helping. I can’t imagine what it’s been like for you living all this in the public eye. You’ve definitely given me courage. I’m loving the book so much. My dad verbally and mentally abused us, and then get behind the pulpit and we were threatened within an inch of our lives if we didn’t put on these big smiles and act like the perfect little family. We were physically abused at times. I’m ok with a spanking but not belts, sticks, whatever he could get his hands on.
I’m so happy for you, Jill. Your voice is important to showing how you can stand up for yourself and recognize spiritual abuse while loving, honoring, and trusting Jesus! I’m loving reading your book.
Ordered both a paper and audible copy of your book. Thank you so much for your book and the love that clearly radiates for your family, whether it be your husband and boys to your parents and siblings. You’re an awesome momma, wife and and the love of God truly shows in you. ❤
Excited to read your book. I saw a few episodes of the tv show and I worried what would happen as you all got older. I’m so glad you and Derrick found eachother and that you are doing so well. Take one day at a time and make as many good days as you can! Your kindness is an inspiration!
Congratulations Jill! Telling your story was so brave. I’m glad to see what a success it’s been. Still awaiting my copy from the library, but I’ve been following channels reviewing your book. You’re fierce and courageous and bold, as a Christian I admire those traits.
Thank you for sharing your story Jill and Derrick. You are both an inspiration. The book has helped me look at my life and help me with my past trauma.
Thank you both for sharing. This is a lesson of personal freedom for everyone. Many cultures coral their children without teaching or offering choices. Your bravery and honesty are appreciated. Congratulations on your book!
Sooooooooooo proud of you! I have ALWAYS said that you are the luckiest of all of the daughters. You have Derick! His mom must be so proud of the both of you. She raised an amazing young man. God bless you both! God's love is shining through you both!
I hope y’all take the time to read all these, we all are so proud. ❤ I hope this brings you peace, relief, and a strong sense of who you are! I hope your other siblings find their way.
I just admire you and Derick so much. Jill, you are an inspiration and Derick, the way you support her gives me hope that one day I'll find someone special of my own. I wish you nothing but everything good the universe can give.
I'm really happy for and proud of you both. It took massive strength to stand up the way you did. May the seeds you plant now multiply and may your story help other children be protected.... protected from cults, reality TV and exploitation at every level. I think it's amazing how God has given you a platform that helps bridge a divide. No matter where we stand in life, yours is a universal story that is relatable to different people, for different reasons. You are a very special couple.
Saw your interview on Vulnerable - I am not going to tell my story - except to say I had to make choices to get away from negative. Love how you and your husband have gone on to continue to build your life - LOVE your positive attitude.
I’ve always loved the show as a child and to know what has been happening behind closed doors I’m so unbelievably sorry for supporting the trauma… I adore you guys so so much💖
Thank you for sharing your story Jill and Derrick ❤ as someone who was raised evangelical Christian with some iblp teachings, and had a similar incident within my own family, i relate so much. It is important to speak truth to power. Thank you for exposing this cult. Can't wait to get your book
Loved your book but especially happy to see how far you have come in your journey away from your past life. You deserve all the credit and none of the heartache your parents ( and I do mean BOTH of them) have put you through and continue to do so at this time. My best to both of you and your little guys. Keep us posted.
You rock! I read your book in one sitting! Praying for you guys! You dont have an easy situation, but you have the best additude. I love that you want to still try to be a part of your family. Its important. Protect your heart without hardening it. You are a excellent example of what is good in this world. 💙
I’ve been listening to your book. I’m sure this was so difficult to write, being that you love your parents, but you did such a wonderful job. I loved listening to your voice on it because the feelings come through in your voice. May God bless your journey. I also started Jinger’s book. I’m happy for you that both have been set free from so many rules. God wants us free! I have watched your story from the beginning. I even have a Thank you card from you and Jessa for gifts I sent you when you got married! I pray that all the rest of your family break free from this spirit of religion. Love you!
Nanapam1267, That was so sweet vof you to send gifts !!!! I would have too if I was able to but unfortunately I can't b/c I'm a Paraplegic with little funds to support me. But anyways,,, It's so sweet of them also to write Thank You notes back to you!! That's so Awesome!!!
I just want to say that I’m extremely proud of you for taking this stand. I was raised exactly the same way. I got out of that when I was 18 years old. I still go to church but I know that living like I was raised isn’t right. I go to a Baptist church now. I have been watching your family since they first came out back in early 2000’s. I’m so proud that you are now happy with your family. What you had to through with your father was appalling and I’m so sorry you were treated so harshly. I will be praying for you and your little family. Keep staying strong!!! Love you guys!! ❤
Congratulations to you both!! I am so proud that you are sharing your truth. I am especially glad you are standing tall on your own two feet and not relying on your father for $$. I am almost finished with the book. So well written. Stay strong and continue to support each other! Congratulations for being #2 on The NY Times best seller list. Blessings
Jill you are my hero! Thank you for taking this on and writing your book. I, like many others, assumed the older Dugget kids were getting paid for their involvement as adults...such a controlling, greedy situation. I could not stop reading the book..very well done. God bless you both!!
Looks like a fun (but busy!) trip! I binged your audiobook in a single day while I worked in the garden. You told your story so beautifully, and I found myself crying on more than one occasion. Congrats on your well-deserved NYT best-seller!!!!
I read the book in one day. It was fantastic! So eloquently written - thank you for being vulnerable and sharing what was so personal. I admire your bravery! Thank you for being truthful. I'm proud of you, Jill and for Derek, too, for all you have done for yourselves and for letting us all know the realness of your lives.
So proud of you, Jill! I listened to your book on Audible in one day. I really wanted to hear the words straight from you. I loved it and I'm so glad that you were able to speak your truth!
I'm so glad that your book is doing so well... it's important that the world is made aware of how detrimental a cult like upbringing is on children in these families. To sacrifice your own children to maintain your power, greed fame. I'm encouraged to see you working your way out of this tangled web of deceit. It's going to be a long road but you are a strong woman who has a loving supportive husband by your side. God bless you and keep you safe.
I just finished your book last night jill. I was in tears! The love and grace you still have for your family despite all you’ve been through is extremely admirable.
I am so happy for you Jill! With tears of joy in my eyes🥲! God has really blessed you and your family through it all! It is true, what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. Don’t worry about who isn’t supporting you, praise God for those who are in your corner and appreciate you for you! This is your story, but because you exposed your journey it extends itself to all the other individuals who have suffered in a similar way. Boy, I admire your strength! Keep on keeping on🙏🏽❤️😊!!!
Jill and Derrick, I read and enjoyed your book in 2 days! I couldn't put it down! I am so glad that you have each other and the Lord for this tough journey you guys have been through! I hope that the rest of your lives seem easy in comparison. God bless you!
Your family and story is so precious. I'm proud of you for standing up for what is right. Keeping your family in my prayers as you continue your healing journey.
Poor Derick he doesn't fit in the hotel chair. But seriously amazing book and as a Christian I believe you did honour your parents. Truth does not mean dishonour. Well done. Thankyou x❤
Just listened to Audible. Loved hearing the words from your own voice. We all have to make adult choices as we come into ourselves and still hear the word of God. Thank you for that. Truth with the thorns!
Jill & Derek, I just finished your book. I am so very proud of you and Jinger for finding your voice and using it to help others. It was good to hear the truth about the IBLP and how people have been hurt by Bill Gothard. I pray your family will continue to heal and thrive! .
Thank you for sharing your story with us. It was so good to hear your side of the story coming from you instead of other sources. It makes me happy knowing that you were able to find your true self! Your bravery and courage are outstanding!
You two are the epitome of teaching how to honor God with the way you live, and it means so much more than just preaching. Believe me, you are reaching more hearts this way. God bless you and your family.
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your baby girl. Grief share is a wonderful organization that can help you go through times like this. I pray that you can reconcile with your dad and perhaps take that book you wrote off the market. Jill and Derek I never understood why you came against your father and father-in-law in front of millions of people like that. Your dad did the best he could. He is a very nice father compared to abusive fathers and husbands. You are blessed. To have him in your life. I would not shame him like that in public. God tells us to honor our parents. I’m very sorry for the loss of your baby girl.😢 I will be praying for you both. I sure miss the Dugger TV show. Enjoyed watching how you both met!
Read your book, loved it. I was at a different angle of the Bill Gothard movement. I was a young Christian mum that wanted the best for her children. I looked at the home school IBLP and even tried blanket training for all of five minutes, I ended up picking up my baby and crying. I did continue to home school but did not use the IBLP and as most of the Christians around me were, I felt like a “second class “ home school Christian. I found myself people pleasing these Christians, trying to prove I was as good as them. Working myself into an early grave and forgetting to teach boundaries for myself and my children.
Read your book .. so so well written .. please keep writing.. I would read any book you authored .. on any genre!! Please keep writing!!! I can’t wait for your next book !!!
Read your book, last week, very eye opening, so sad what you went through Jill. You have overcome so much, you have a lovely supporting husband in Derek, and three adorable sons. Life for you is looking great, well done both of you.
Down the rabbit hole at bedtime sent me a link to your UA-cam page I’m now following you and could not be happier about it! I’ve always loved how you have carried yourself, and especially love the love you and Derrick have for each other! I’ve been married for 20+years and must say I’m not sure we would have been able to weather the storms you guys have! Amazing job on your book you guys are amazing!
Jill, im so so proud of you, I've read your book already, and about to read again, thats just how good it is. I had no idea how your dad did you kids. Now it makes sense why your mom looks at him sometimes, i knew she seemed nervous alot, now i know she never knows what to say or do. Glad you're free of it. Congratulations on your beautiful book. ❤
I got your book a few days ago and I couldn’t put it down. Thank you for being brave enough to tell your story. I was the victim of SCA when I was child. Thank you for always standing by your truth even when other don’t
I watched you grow up on tv Jill and I loved that show! I’m so sorry for what you went through and I hope to read your book. I hope to read Jingers book as well. Take care!
You are so brave. You may have turmoil in your immediate family, but you have gained a MUCH larger family in the process of living your truth. You may not know me all that well, but my husband and I stand beside you 100%. If you're ever in the Northeast Kansas area, let us know! You are welcome here. You should be so proud of yourself and the example you are setting for your kiddos!!! Sending you and your family all the love in the world!!!
So proud of you! Great video and I loved the book. Finished it in 2 days. I can relate to quite a bit of what you wrote. Although I didn't grow up in the IBLP, there are many parallels with growing up in a dysfunctional home...I too struggle with my relationship with my dad and have had to set boundaries, as well as work through my own trauma to get to a healthier place. Thanks for showing us the behind the scenes! Keep being authentic and a voice for others. Love you girl!
I'm so proud of you. You have been through so much. I'm grateful you have a wonderful supportive husband, Hello to Derek 😊 Thank you Derek for being here for her! I can't wait to read your book.
Loved your book, read it in a day, couldn’t put it down. God bless your family, all of them. Speaking the truth often hurts, but also heals. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into your life and journey, it’s so helpful to so many❤
Oh wow my name is Tonya too. I'm a long time fan so i ordered your book so I would get it the first day. (I rarely buy books new) Many times while reading it I cried. My heart broke for you. I watched the show for years and never once considered that the show could be harming you or causing harm to any of the kids. I feel so guilty for having participated in something that caused you pain and trauma even if it was indirectly. Even before reading this book I have prayed for you Jill several times the last few years. I prayed many times specifically for you during Josh's trial. And I continue to pray for your road to healing and for some kind of healthy relationship with your parents and siblings (if possible) moving forward. I'm so glad you're finding your voice and will be first in line if you write another book!
Loved your book! It validated my feelings of how some Christian parents often try to control their adult children even after they’re married. We all have our own journey with Christ, and no two journeys are alike! Also, I apologize for all the counter operatives that have been sent to post on your video. May they will read your book and have a higher calling!
Congratulations 🎉 I listen to your audio version in a day. Thank you for reading it yourself. You did such a beautiful job. Way to go Jill. Prayers and love to your beautiful family. ❤

Keep going, youre unstoppable.

Hi. Honey I just finished reading your book. The last page made me cry. Such a good book. Love u all

I am so happy for you Jill! With tears of joy in my eyes🥲! God has really blessed you and your family through it all! It is true, what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. Don’t worry about who isn’t supporting you, praise God for those who are in your corner and appreciate you for you! This is your story, but because you exposed your journey it extends itself to all the other individuals who have suffered in a similar way. Boy, I admire your strength! Keep on keeping on🙏🏽❤️😊!!!
Y’all are so awesome! As someone who watched all of the Duggar specials and episodes, I’m proud of the woman you’ve become.
Jill and Derrick, I read and enjoyed your book in 2 days! I couldn't put it down!
I am so glad that you have each other and the Lord for this tough journey you guys have been through! I hope that the rest of your lives seem easy in comparison. God bless you!
Your family and story is so precious. I'm proud of you for standing up for what is right. Keeping your family in my prayers as you continue your healing journey.
I am so proud of you Jill for being so brave and sharing your story along with your wonderful hubby Derick! 🙏🏼
Poor Derick he doesn't fit in the hotel chair. But seriously amazing book and as a Christian I believe you did honour your parents. Truth does not mean dishonour. Well done. Thankyou x❤
Jill & Derick, I'm so proud of you both. Your story will help so many people.
Just listened to Audible. Loved hearing the words from your own voice. We all have to make adult choices as we come into ourselves and still hear the word of God. Thank you for that. Truth with the thorns!
Jill & Derek, I just finished your book. I am so very proud of you and Jinger for finding your voice and using it to help others. It was good to hear the truth about the IBLP and how people have been hurt by Bill Gothard. I pray your family will continue to heal and thrive!

So proud of you and Derrick. I'm happy you have been able to work with a therapist and have grown in to happy, healthy adults.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. It was so good to hear your side of the story coming from you instead of other sources. It makes me happy knowing that you were able to find your true self! Your bravery and courage are outstanding!
You two are the epitome of teaching how to honor God with the way you live, and it means so much more than just preaching. Believe me, you are reaching more hearts this way. God bless you and your family.
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your baby girl. Grief share is a wonderful organization that can help you go through times like this. I pray that you can reconcile with your dad and perhaps take that book you wrote off the market. Jill and Derek I never understood why you came against your father and father-in-law in front of millions of people like that. Your dad did the best he could. He is a very nice father compared to abusive fathers and husbands. You are blessed. To have him in your life. I would not shame him like that in public. God tells us to honor our parents.
I’m very sorry for the loss of your baby girl.😢 I will be praying for you both. I sure miss the Dugger TV show. Enjoyed watching how you both met!
LOVED your book! Beautifully written, touching, and infuriating!
You legitimately made the New York Times best sellers list!!! CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 💐
I listened to the entire 7 hour book in 1 day. It was EXCELLENT. Proud of you.
Congratulations Jill!! It's so amazing to see everything you have been able to overcome so far!
Wishing you great success on your book, Jill! ❤
Read your book, loved it. I was at a different angle of the Bill Gothard movement. I was a young Christian mum that wanted the best for her children. I looked at the home school IBLP and even tried blanket training for all of five minutes, I ended up picking up my baby and crying.
I did continue to home school but did not use the IBLP and as most of the Christians around me were, I felt like a “second class “ home school Christian.
I found myself people pleasing these Christians, trying to prove I was as good as them. Working myself into an early grave and forgetting to teach boundaries for myself and my children.
Read your book .. so so well written .. please keep writing.. I would read any book you authored .. on any genre!! Please keep writing!!! I can’t wait for your next book !!!
Thank you both for sharing your story. Derick was a God-send. Wishing you all the best.
So happy for you both and proud of your strength and courage to be authentic and honest. 🙏❤️
Read your book, last week, very eye opening, so sad what you went through Jill. You have overcome so much, you have a lovely supporting husband in Derek, and three adorable sons. Life for you is looking great, well done both of you.
Down the rabbit hole at bedtime sent me a link to your UA-cam page I’m now following you and could not be happier about it! I’ve always loved how you have carried yourself, and especially love the love you and Derrick have for each other! I’ve been married for 20+years and must say I’m not sure we would have been able to weather the storms you guys have! Amazing job on your book you guys are amazing!
Jill, im so so proud of you, I've read your book already, and about to read again, thats just how good it is. I had no idea how your dad did you kids. Now it makes sense why your mom looks at him sometimes, i knew she seemed nervous alot, now i know she never knows what to say or do. Glad you're free of it. Congratulations on your beautiful book. ❤
I got your book a few days ago and I couldn’t put it down. Thank you for being brave enough to tell your story.
I was the victim of SCA when I was child. Thank you for always standing by your truth even when other don’t
I watched you grow up on tv Jill and I loved that show! I’m so sorry for what you went through and I hope to read your book. I hope to read Jingers book as well. Take care!
I am #248 in line at my library to listen to your audiobook here in Canada. I can’t wait! It’s getting good reviews!!!! 🤩
You are so brave. You may have turmoil in your immediate family, but you have gained a MUCH larger family in the process of living your truth. You may not know me all that well, but my husband and I stand beside you 100%. If you're ever in the Northeast Kansas area, let us know! You are welcome here. You should be so proud of yourself and the example you are setting for your kiddos!!! Sending you and your family all the love in the world!!!
Love your book! Very well articulated! Cleared up a lot of things!
I’m so proud of you, Jill! So pleased with the success of your book! Congrats!🎉
So proud of you! Great video and I loved the book. Finished it in 2 days. I can relate to quite a bit of what you wrote. Although I didn't grow up in the IBLP, there are many parallels with growing up in a dysfunctional home...I too struggle with my relationship with my dad and have had to set boundaries, as well as work through my own trauma to get to a healthier place. Thanks for showing us the behind the scenes! Keep being authentic and a voice for others. Love you girl!
Absolutely love your book. So sorry for everything that’s happened and continuing. But you are a warrior. So proud of you. ❤
Loved the book. The two of you deserve so much credit for finding your own voices! ❤❤❤
I'm so proud of you. You have been through so much. I'm grateful you have a wonderful supportive husband, Hello to Derek 😊 Thank you Derek for being here for her! I can't wait to read your book.
Loved your book, read it in a day, couldn’t put it down. God bless your family, all of them. Speaking the truth often hurts, but also heals. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into your life and journey, it’s so helpful to so many❤
I just finished your book today! Well done Jill, so well written.
Read your book last weekend. So proud of you and Derick. You've come through the dark and are shining, congrats!
I am so proud of you both! It took strength and bravery to do what you did.
I bought the book from Amazon and got delivered in the Philippines for just a week!! I read it for 2 straight days! Love your book, Jill and Derrick!❤
I'm so glad you wrote this book. You are an amazing woman and your husband is the same. You guys are a great team
Ordered and read your book! Passed it along to my daughter. Good for you Jill & Derick! I'm so happy for you both.
Jill your book was fantastic, I read it in a day. Congratulations on being a New York bestseller. It was so good that I think you could do a part two.
I stopped buying books a few years ago but I bought yours to support you. God bless you and your boys!
I am so happy for you guys I pray your book goes to #1 You have come so far Jill and I am so proud of you.
Oh wow my name is Tonya too. I'm a long time fan so i ordered your book so I would get it the first day. (I rarely buy books new) Many times while reading it I cried. My heart broke for you. I watched the show for years and never once considered that the show could be harming you or causing harm to any of the kids. I feel so guilty for having participated in something that caused you pain and trauma even if it was indirectly. Even before reading this book I have prayed for you Jill several times the last few years. I prayed many times specifically for you during Josh's trial. And I continue to pray for your road to healing and for some kind of healthy relationship with your parents and siblings (if possible) moving forward. I'm so glad you're finding your voice and will be first in line if you write another book!
Loved your book! It validated my feelings of how some Christian parents often try to control their adult children even after they’re married. We all have our own journey with Christ, and no two journeys are alike! Also, I apologize for all the counter operatives that have been sent to post on your video. May they will read your book and have a higher calling!
I loved your book! And you look so pretty with your hair and makeup like that!
i remember Frank!! he was on the show a couple times, glad you guys kept in contact, he always seemed pretty cool
Your book was amazing! Very well done. You were extremely respectful with how you dealt with the sensitive subjects. So proud of you! ❤❤
Jill, you look so beautiful! I LOVED your book! Congrats on making the NY Times Best Seller list! Well deserved!
Couldn’t put your book down!!! Finished it in 2 days!! Great Job, Jill!! Your strength and courage is awe inspiring!!!
Congratulations 🎉 I listen to your audio version in a day. Thank you for reading it yourself. You did such a beautiful job. Way to go Jill. Prayers and love to your beautiful family. ❤
Im so happy for you Jill. Derek is your gift for God.
So proud of you Jill! Read the book overnight the day it came! Glad to see you are already #2 on New York Times Best Sellers List!
