SILOAM SPRINGS, ARKANSAS: In her latest book, Jill Duggar Dillard is ready to tell her truth. She recently turned to Instagram to post BTS from the shooting for her book cover, leaving people wondering why the photograph highlights her husband, Derick Dillard, despite the fact that the book is about her.
The 'Counting On' star said back in May that she and her husband Derick want to write a new book called 'Counting the Cost', which claims to disclose "the unedited truth about the Duggars" made famous by TLC's '19 Kids and Counting'. 'Counting the Cost' will look into the "red flags" Duggar saw about her conservative independent Christian Baptist background after marrying Derick in 2014. The book, according to the pair, "is meant to reflect a story that has been difficult, yet hopeful." "Time, tears, truth, and therapy" helped the parents of three heal from "our painful journey as part of the reality-show-filming Duggar family."
'BTS of our book cover shoot day! 😀🌿'
On July 13, Jill took to Instagram to share, "BTS of our book cover shoot day! 😀🌿." In the caption, she further added, "📸@christopherpatey was so great to work around our toy scattered livingroom & I was so glad my friend 💄👱🏻♀️@michellegamboahair got to be there for support, as well as all things hair & makeup! 💁🏼♀️ 📚My book, COUNTING THE COST will be out in the world September 12th! 📣📚 You can PRE-ORDER the regular and autographed versions NOW at the links in my stories & bio! ⬆️."
Jill Duggar's fans have long hoped for a tell-all memoir from Jill, who has openly separated herself from her ultra-conservative family. Their ambition is now becoming a reality. Jill posted to Instagram a few days before the release of Prime Video's docuseries 'Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets' to announce that she'd written a memoir. People will have to wait several months to hear what she has to say.
'Counting the Cost' will be released on September 12, 2023, with a hardback price of $28.99 and an ebook price of $14.99. It is currently available for pre-order and is already a bestseller on Amazon in the "Religious Cults" and "Memoirs" categories. Jill confirmed on Instagram that there would be an audiobook version as well. 'Counting the Cost' will be published by Gallery Books, a Simon & Schuster subsidiary. Jill is the principal author, along with co-authors Derick and Craig Borlase. Borlase is a ghostwriter who's previously worked on the New York Times bestsellers, 'Finding Gobi' and 'My Name Is Tani'.
'Weird because Jill is starting to look like her husband?'
Reacting to the BTS pictures, users quickly questioned, "This is your book and your story, why your husband is on the cover and looks more important than you?" Another user questioned, "why is he looking directly at camera like he's more important?" Others asked, "Who is she donating the proceeds to?" Some complained, "She needs to be completely honest about her past . There is a lot she’s not saying and it’s annoying . If you’re gonna tell all . Them tell all . Both her and jinger sweep a lot of stuff under the rug. Speak up."
One user also wondered, "What does it have to read that Jingers didn’t?" Another person adviced, "Smile! You look mad…" One user quipped, "I hope the word LIKE isn’t in each sentence 4 times." Another user noted, "Weird because Jill is starting to look like her husband?"
