Although Jinger Duggar Vuolo's new memoir appears to be focusing on the "unhealthy ideology of her youth" (per Thomas Nelson Publishers), there's speculation that she might also be dishing dirt on her family's private life. The unnamed source tells In Touch Weekly that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are worried that the book might discuss older brother Josh Duggar, who is serving time in prison for horrific crimes that are decidedly un-Christian. "The last thing they want is to bring more unwanted, negative attention and scrutiny to their family," says the source.
Jinger says her book tells "stories that nobody saw while the TV cameras were rolling," which might bring down the Duggars' idealized image. Several insiders have told Katie Joy of the Without a Crystal Ball YouTube channel that the Duggars once lived in a messy home far too small for such a large clan, and at one point even had another family living with them. Michelle reportedly was disabled with severe back pain related to her multiple pregnancies, and relied on Jinger and her other daughters to run the house and raise their younger siblings. Might Jinger's book reveal her feelings about taking on so much responsibility?
The In Touch insider says that the Duggars still love their daughter, despite their misgivings about her book. "Jim Bob and Michelle are bracing themselves and just praying that while Jinger was writing the book she stayed true to their family's core values."
