Excellent book.  I can’t imagine thinking life with such chaos and hate would look enticing to all these women.  Glad some woke up.

    Unexpectedly Captivating
  

*by S***U on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2022*

It's hard to believe how many times this book made me cry. Sometimes the tears were happy, but often they were tears of empathy or pain. I have never lived in the type of culture the author describes, but I could fully relate to being in love with a man who wasn't truly a husband or father, and was able to brilliantly manipulate his women into staying just a little longer, giving him just one more chance, pulling you in with the promise of fulfilling your ultimate dream of a happy and functioning family.I was moved by the author's unabashed retelling of the early years of her life with her family, and the life she encountered when she followed her dream of being married to the man she loved. Her description of the loyalty and faith their church community held for their leaders was brilliant and evocative. There was never a question or doubt in her mind of the doctrine she'd been raised to believe, and no hesitation to step into a woman's expected role as a plural wife. The winding tale of her marriage, her pregnancies and births, her reckoning with the reality of sharing her beloved husband, and the evolution of her worldview was so fascinating that I literally could not put the story down. I read the entire book in one sitting, over the course of about 13 hours.It was beautiful to read about her realization of her worth as a woman in her own right. I cried when her heart broke as she stood up for herself, claiming the dignity she was due. I was also moved to tears by her fierce resolve to raise her children with open minds, free wills and loving hearts.I wasn't sure what to expect from the story when I first opened it, especially when I realized the time in which it was set (I suppose I expected something unrelatable, since I was born in the same timeframe as the author's children - 1974), but I am so thankful I gave it a try. I learned that some struggles are timeless, just as the strength to overcome them is a thing that lives within us all. I hope the beautiful outcome of the author's life can lead many women to the discovery of their own innate resiliency, so that they can find what it takes to reclaim their own rights to be respected and loved.

    Escape from a religious cult

Polygamy and polyamory are known in the kink community, where one of the main rules is "safe, sane, and consensual". This is not that sort of poly relationship.  I'll let the author give her experienced view: "We were supposed to be an army for the Lord, and yet babies, dirty diapers, backbreaking work, and never enough money to go around were the lot of a polygamist’s wife. All around me were poverty-stricken homes filled with lonely women and children, living for the scattered moments when our husbands could find time for a hurried visit home."Leaders of the church - primarily males of the same family - need multiple wives to be the crowns in their jewels in Heaven.  Fifteen is considered a mature age, courting brief, and marriages held in the church to get around pesky bigamy laws.  The husband here, Verlan, seems to have an unerring talent for spending his scarce time with each wife at the right time to impregnate them frequently, thus growing the church.Along with the family dynamics of living amid multiple - essentially - single mother hovels with an occasional visit, there's an undercurrent of dissent between factions of the church that boils over to murderous rage.It's not a pretty read, with malnutrition, third world housing, and spousal abuse by neglect being the norm, despite the wives' best efforts.
