Every religion has it's extremists, but the religion as a whole is vastly different from this family. And I can tell you honestly right now that if any of the leaders of the church were told by a daughter of a father who mistreats his family like that, they WOULD do something about it. They WOULD listen. <br /><br />I do not like reading books that are poorly researched. And this one was. If this had been my first Hopkins, it would probably also have been my last. She's a brilliant writer, but I don't like reading books that haven't been researched well. <br /><br />I felt that the same message could have been portrayed by making them a highly religious family without naming a denomination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
