The subtitle to this book is "unraveling the myth that you're too faithful to fall." The story starts off with Rust's childhood and past, as well as how she came to be a prominent woman in her Christian faith / community. There came a point where Rust had a list of things she would never do, and therefore never considered making appropriate boundaries for. One of those was that she would never have sex before marriage. As readers learn, Rust fell into temptation when she was intimate with her boyfriend. This caused her a breakup, as well as being fired from her church job. Eventually Rust got back together with her boyfriend and later married him. However, I think it is important to know that her story could have gone the other way. She could have lost her virginity to a man who left her and never came back. The book details how one can overcome what the author calls the "untouchable myth mindset". This is paralleled with Bible verses, many of which are from the New Testament. There is a thread of love, grace, and forgiveness throughout. Whatever your list of untouchables, this book will make you think twice about what you never thought to guard yourself against.
