review 1: We read this for a book club and we all came to the same conclusion. Butterfield was an extreme feminist and converted to an extreme Christian. Ironically becoming the person she despised in the beginning. So no, I didn't rate this book highly.The other thing that bugged us about this book was that is was less about the secret thoughts she was thinking through each stage of her life but more the well edited and mostly public thoughts (she shares several speeches she gave at the time) which was misleading I felt as the reason I read the book was to find out what she was thinking! So super important, life changing events, like her conversion and her marriage are glossed over and other things (like her devotion to the regulative principle of worship) are belabored to deat... moreh.So don't read this unless you want to be beaten over the head with the importance of adoption, home schooling, regulative principle of worship among others. If that interests you - go right ahead.
review 2: This is one of those books that I find myself suggesting to others if they want to read a book that is a delight to encounter and from which life lessons are resplendent throughout its entirety. It is one of the most intriguing and instructing book I have read as it is the true story of life as it comes, even though it be confronting. If you want truth as it happened in a controversial life, then read it but if you have difficulty with differences or disagreements, you will want to get another book. But you will miss one of the richest, most honest and profound descriptions of a changed life you can read. less
