Rift: A Memoir of Breaking Away from Christian Patriarchy

A story about a woman who had the misfortune to be born to a father who actually read a magazine called “Patriach” and enforced the “stay at home daughter” concept. It’s wild, but it’s only slightly removed from your Kirkland brand Christianity. This particular flavor just involved a control freak man who essentially jailed his daughter. She’s in her early 20’s, she can’t work (not allowed), and is literally sitting around waiting for a man to show up to get married off because that’s her only purpose, per her father. Then when she meets someone, he’s not good enough. Her recounting of her depression, and just the thought of what it would be like to have no inherent value or purpose was incredibly sad.
