Being a godly and submissive wife in Christian Patriarchy included strict discipline, isolation, and an alternative lifestyle that appeared wholesome to outsiders. Women were to be silent, \"keepers of the home.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTia knew that to their neighbors her family was strange, but she also couldn't risk exposing their secret lifestyle to police, doctors, teachers, or anyone outside of their church. Christians were called in scripture to be \"in the world, not of it.\" So, she hid in plain sight as years of abuse and pain followed. When Tia realized she was the only one who could protect her children from becoming the next generation of patriarchal men and submissive women, she began to resist and question how they lived. But in the patriarchy, a woman with opinions is in danger, and eventually, Tia faced an urgent and extreme choice: stay and face dire consequences, or flee with her children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold in a beautiful and honest voice, \u003ci\u003eA Well-Trained Wife \u003c\/i\u003eis an unforgettable and timely memoir about a woman's race to save herself and her family and details the ways that extreme views can manifest in a marriage.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTIA LEVINGS writes about the realities of Christian fundamentalism, evangelical patriarchy, and religious trauma.
