Reviews

An important perspective, but lacking emotional connection

I has also homeschooled (Not to the fundamentalist degree that Tara was) and I knew a LOT of families just like hers. I really wish that her stories gave us insight into her emotions and perspectives more. Otherwise, this just reads like you're sitting down for coffee with a new friends who is barfing their horrible life story at you.
