Devoted
Devoted: A Novel | Jennifer Mathieu
Rachel Walker is devoted to God. She prays every day, attends Calvary Christian Church with her family, helps care for her five younger siblings, dresses modestly, and prepares herself to be a wife and mother who serves the Lord with joy. But Rachel is curious about the world her family has turned away from, and increasingly finds that neither the church nor her homeschool education has the answers she craves. Rachel has always found solace in her beliefs, but now she can't shake the feeling that her devotion might destroy her soul.

Lauren Sullivan caused quite a #scandal when she ran away from her Quiverfull community...but she also paved the way for Rachel Walker to do the same thing. I absolutely adore this story of two young women searching for themselves and taking control of their own lives. Highly recommended! #NewYearNewYou

I have waited to read this for so long because I could not find a copy through my local libraries. I finally see it pop up for order as I was doing the YA order so I order it for my branch. Ironically, I take a road trip and stop by a larger library system to get a library card so I can do ebooks only to discover that they have a copy of this in their ebook collection! Lol oh well at least I finally get to read it and it‘s available to my patrons!

intothehallofbooks I loved this one! 7y

I just finished "Devoted", and it reminds me to be thankful that I have the ability to make my own choices about my life. Having someone else control your choices is an awful experience, and I don't want to take anything for granted.

Anyway, happy Thanksgiving everyone, and happy reading ?

Loved this book and finished it on the plane! The ending left me wanting so much more and to learn more but it was beautiful and wonderful.

Being a Christian and reading this makes my heart hurt for all the women out there who are being oppressed by an archaic and non contextual reading of the Bible. Ugh. #jesusfeministforlifeyo

I tore through this book in a single sitting- I found it incredibly compelling all around. A 17-year old girl turns away from her controlling Quiverfull community to find her own "wild and precious life". Highly recommended! #YA #YAlit #jennifermathieu

Seeing @Shortstack post and @Texreader response to my thoughts on it reminded me that I heard this book recommended on @bookriot Get Booked last week and really wanted to read it (and mentioned it to my sister as well) even if I'm not sure if it will ultimately make me angry that this is reality for some people.

Shortstack Ugh, I have such a hard time reading stuff like this. It just breaks my heart since it is many people's reality. 8y
Verity @shortstack I know what you mean. I'm sort of fascinated and appalled. 8y

Another read in one sitting! It brought up some things I didn't think about if you were encountering the "secular" world for the first time. I liked this.
