Where Was God?

De: Jennifer Dawn Turpin

Narrado por: Tonia Rich

As far as Jennifer can remember, her father was abusive but her mother wasn’t always. She remembers a time when she felt loved by her mother. All that changed when Jennifer was 11. Her mother snapped and became a monster like her father was. Then they turned on her. Jennifer fought to become who she wanted to be, and not who her parents were trying to make her be. She refused to allow the torture change her, like it changed her mother. This is the story of Jennifer’s past, how she got through it, and how she survived it all.

Mediocre

It’s absolutely terrible what these parents put their children through. But the story was hard to follow at times and several repetitive statements. It came across as very surface.

Her quest to have a life of her own while still trying to keep her siblings safe

The person who read the book. Her voice was strange. Like fingernails on a chalk board

Her fortitude is inspiring

I watched the documentary about these children, and was touched when Jennifer and Jordan shared their story. This is not a "tell all" book. Jennifer is so respectful to herself and her family in telling only the experiences she is comfortable sharing and only her side of the story in this book. She does reveal some stories about her upbringing, however I appreciate the great emphasis on how she was able to endure, persevere, and survive the torture. It's difficult enough to know she was abused, but it is more hopeful and inspiring to hear how she was able to do so with such great fortitude.

that jennifer came out strong even through her terrible childhood

I enjoyed all of this. This book was interesting right from beginning to end . Very good listen

Real life can be more shocking than fiction could ever hope to be.

In my opinion Ms. Turpin did a better job writing her story than what she gives herself credit for. I would have appreciated her to give more details on what all she had to go through in order to transition herself into becoming a normal average person who fits into the mold of society. It couldn't have been easy for her. Needing to learn how to do so many new things all in one huge blow had to be overwhelming. To be in her early thirties and she had never experienced any area of freedom to include having any choices. This is one of the most heartbreaking stories I have ever read! Thank God for their rescuers!

Love her story

So strong and a total inspiration, Jennifer Turpin shares her story with strength and vulnerability.

Terrible narrator

I didn’t like the person who narrated the book. They could have found someone with more oomph in their storytelling.

Narration

Not a fan of the narrator, made the story unbelievable although I knew it was real & horrifying.

inspiring

this book is super inspiring! just the fact that everything her and her siblings went through, she never lost faith in God! My heart goes out to her and her siblings

wish I could give TEN stars

I am just amazed!!!I wasn't sure what to expect. listened in one sitting. Her faith, strength, and resilience. Makes me know that I am right when I say, "hurt people DO NOT have to hurt people!!! With God ALL things are possible!
