'Counting the Cost' by Jill Duggar, Derick Dillard, and Craig Borlase recounts the life of Jill Duggar, who grew up in the spotlight on the reality show '19 Kids and Counting.' In a family that adhered to strict patriarchal principles, Jill initially accepted her role as a daughter, wife, and mother without questioning it. However, as she matured and started her own family with Derick, they began to see the flaws in their upbringing.

While they initially tried to conform to their family's expectations, Jill and Derick eventually realized they couldn't ignore the red flags any longer. Their story is one of transformation and the power of truth. Through therapy, tears, and the strength they found in their faith, they decided to share their journey openly. 'Counting the Cost' is a compelling account of their path to healing through honesty and serves as an inspirational example of the importance of confronting one's past to build a better future.
