About this item
In A Well-Trained Wife, Tia Levings offers a courageous and unflinching memoir of life within the oppressive Quiverfull movement, revealing the harrowing realities of extreme Christian Patriarchy.
Recruited into the Quiverfull movement as a young bride, Tia was introduced to a life governed by rigid rules and subservience. The movement’s doctrine, promising a godly life, demanded her submission to her husband and isolation from the outside world, enforcing a facade of piety and domestic bliss. Tia and her family lived under the guise of normalcy, their true struggles hidden from police, doctors, and educators.
Within this framework, women were expected to be silent, obedient "keepers of the home." For years, Tia endured abuse and pain, her identity and voice stifled by the movement’s oppressive rules. As the years passed and the weight of her reality grew unbearable, Tia faced a heartbreaking realization: she alone had the power to protect her children from perpetuating the cycle of patriarchal oppression.
The memoir chronicles Tia’s internal struggle as she begins to question and resist the life she was forced to accept. Her journey is fraught with danger and despair, leading her to a life-altering decision: remain in the confines of a life that has inflicted deep wounds, or flee with her children to seek freedom.
Told with raw honesty and emotional depth, A Well-Trained Wife is a powerful account of a woman’s fight for herself and her family, shedding light on the insidious ways extreme ideologies can shape and confine lives. ❤️📚❤️
