Jamie Lee Finch writes You Are Your Own from a place of pain and hurt caused by her mother and the focus of this book, caused by the Evangelical church. It’s written and reads more like a research paper but with a personal account added in and tends to be VERY repetitive. I gave the book 4 stars bc I think it’s an important topic that needs further exploration but professionally, I would have given it a 3. While Finch’s experience is with a much more strict form of evangelicalism than I have experience, I could 100% relate to all of the experiences on some level or another. This is certainly a problem that needs a huge bright light shone on it.
