I’ve read a few of these and they were all really good! And I put a few others on my list. I have one on hold called The Mad Wife, which I’m really looking forward to. I’m not sure it’s in quite the same vein, but it does feel like it fits in with the trad wife stuff.
Yes!!!! Such a great list. One side note, Tara Westovers family wasn't really Mormon, or members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were maybe tangentially related, but...yeah, whatever they were doing it wasn't that. BUT Tara did end up escaping and going to BYU, my alma mater in Utah, which IS run by the church 😊
Not at all!!! It's not entirely clear in the book even, although it's SO well written. Just me hoping one day for actual representation for me and my peeps 🤦🏼♀️
I would personally include The House of My Mother by Shari Franke. In many ways I thought the main character of Yesteryear resembled Ruby Franke, as well as my own mother.
Thank you so much for including TRAD! And if you want the full book, shoot me a DM and I can email it to you!

Kindred by Octavia Butler is also in this space with time travel and navigating 19th century life, but allllllll the trigger warnings.
I haven't read this or The Handmaid's Tale yet but I want to!
Cannot believe I've read TWO books you haven't haha Kindred was definitely uncomfortable, but it's so well written.

Oh that's totally my bad!! It's been so long since I read it.
