As expected, the book has generated quite a bit of controversy within Jill’s family, as the mother of three wrote with blunt candor about her abusive upbringing.<\/p>\n
Some members of the Duggar clan have voiced harsh criticism, including Jill’s parents, Jim Bob and Michelle, who claim the book is full of lies<\/a>.<\/p>\n But others have rushed to Jill’s defense, including her rebellious cousin Amy.<\/p>\n Amy is the daughter of Jim Bob’s sister, and she’s long been critical of her famous uncle’s bonkers belief system.<\/p>\n She’s been boosting Jill’s book since the day it was released, and Jill seems mighty grateful that she has at least one outspoken supporter from her own family.<\/p>\n (For the most part, the Duggars who haven’t openly criticized the book have simply remained silent.)<\/p>\n Now, it seems that Jill’s example might have inspired Amy to pen a memoir of her own.<\/p>\n Over the weekend, Amy celebrated Jill’s success once again by posting the photo below.<\/p>\n “Instant NYT BESTSELLER!!” she captioned the pic.<\/p>\n “Amy you should write your own book too!” one fan commented on the pic, according to UK tabloid The Sun.<\/p>\n “I have been contacted by publishing companies, so I just need to see if it\u2019s the right fit,” Amy replied.<\/p>\n “I do believe my story could help so many people. So many conversations and situations to be told. So we shall see! Right now I\u2019m just supporting Jill & Derick!”<\/p>\n One commenter pointed out that Amy’s memoir might not be quite as scandalous as Jill’s, as her childhood wasn’t nearly as dysfunctional.<\/p>\n “Why should she write one? She didn\u2019t live in the house and she wasn\u2019t raised with any of the same teachings,” this person observed.<\/p>\n Amy was quick to clap back at that criticism, noting that she could offer a unique perspective on the bizarre Duggar sage.<\/p>\n “Although I didn\u2019t live at the big house I grew up all around it. I think my story would impact lives bc it wasn\u2019t a normal childhood,” she replied.<\/p>\n “A story nobody knows and a story that\u2019s hard to write. Then tv stuff and what I was told. It would be a juicy one,” Amy continued.<\/p>\n “It would be a book with a lot of stories because a lot has happened in my life even without the camera around,” she continued. We all have a story to tell.”<\/p>\n It’s true that everyone has their story — and tales of life in the Duggar family have proven to be quite popular with readers!<\/p>\n We’re sure Amy will have zero difficulty landing a lucrative publishing deal!<\/p>\n I<\/p>\n Amy Duggar: Outta the Way, Jill!
