"Not only was I singled out and shamed, but I was lied to as well. I'm still trying to untangle the lies--some of them televised across the country--from the truth."

You've heard some of the story: the manipulation and abuse hidden behind the traditional Christian values that the Duggar family held up on TLC's hit reality show 19 Kids and Counting. As some of the scandal came to light, several of the Duggar children, including Jill and Jinger, have opened up about what it was like growing up in that environment.

But for the first time, Amy Duggar King--a close relative who spent almost every day with her 19 cousins and her aunt and uncle--brings the story into sharp relief, vulnerably sharing not only what life was like with the Duggars but how she, at the end of the day, had her own broken home to return to, a home that was hiding many other secrets.

Amy knows what it's like to be coerced and have her voice silenced. Her story reveals a world of unrealistic expectations and gaslighting in which a normal young woman had to untangle a web of carefully crafted lies while fighting to protect her own mental health. In that world, she was branded "Crazy Cousin Amy"--an identity she didn't choose but was forced to live into.

In Holy Disruptor, Amy gives her unfiltered testimony to finally break free from the toxic cycles that swirled around her and to confront the trauma she endured off-camera.

In the years since the Duggar family collapse, Amy has intentionally dissociated from the toxic family environment, which has helped her learn how to be a "holy disruptor" and make life-changing decisions for her well-being. This is a story about how she discovered that disrupting such deception is a holy act that brings freedom and joy . . . and it applies to you too. No matter what you've been told or how you've been manipulated in the past, freedom is waiting for you.

It's time to use your voice and get loud with the truth.

The raw and emotional delivery

Unlike professional polished narrators, but also also this one. She shows so much raw emotion in her delivery. Great listen.

Amazing healing journey!

Amy’s life story has resonated with me in so many ways. I am so grateful for her diligence and obedience to the Holy Spirit telling her when to write her story. I appreciate the raw honesty and pray a plethora of people are healed from these types of abuse by reading/listening to her story. Thank you Amy!! I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone who has been through ANY type of abuse. Let’s go be Holy Disrupters!!

An awesome story by a courageous woman!

Amy’s authenticity & telling the truth in love is so powerful. This isn’t a ‘tell all’ scandalous book, but Isaiah 61:3 in action. God’s promise that He always replaces sorrow & grief with beauty & joy….in His time.

Reading was sub-par

Amy reads way too fast. There were a ton of mistakes. long pauses between sentences, countless mispronounced words...which was very distracting. I enjoyed hearing the untold stories, but I don't know why she wasnt coached better or asked to re-record those sections. Would have been an easy fix 🙄

Compelling read, I couldn’t put it down

I never thought of the author as “the crazy Duggar” but as the only one who lived in reality. Kind of like Cousin Marilyn’s character on the Munsters tv show
