Oh, I'm sure it's a great life growing up. She was homeschooled, so there was no fear of being bullied at recess, or faced with kids who didn't like her, none of that. She was always surrounded with home and family and people from church who were exactly like her.
Now that she's an adult, what has she got to worry about? Nothing, not a care in the world. As long as she doesn't start questioning, she'll be able to live in her pretty princess happyland forever.
The conservative homeschool world is starting to acknowledge, though, an very un-happyland phenomena of these kids, usually females of course, growing up and *never leaving home* because they never meet members of the opposite sex, so they don't get married, and in the case of the girls they don't work outside the home, so they hit middle age having spent their lives being "maidens" waiting for some husband who of course will never come.
If I had my way, I'd have her enlist in the Army as a chaplain's assistant so she'd be forced to see that there is a world outside this experiment in re-creating the movie "The Village".
