Relying on multiple uses of cliched phrases ("many moons"), I felt like the end of each chapter was a half-hearted attempt at a cliff-hanger. To use a cliche, I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, especially after reading this in Chapter One:
Who could disagree that if God is at the center of your life, you can never make a wrong decision? Right? Well, this is what I came to believe after surviving my teenage years, so much so that by my mid-thirties, I sat on a high horse that was so tall, no one could reach up and touch me. I was on the right side of any controversial issue whether it be sex before marriage, the right to life, and even the death penalty. I had it covered, and I schooled anyone who dared challenge me.
This attitude continues throughout the majority of the memoir, culminating in a Baptist church in the Deep South. Congratulations, Laura Eckert, you forgive yourself, but make it quite clear that you are still willing to judge everybody else.
