“This woman's experiences will shock you, but she and her co-author manage to show how intelligent people can come to believe what is least believable. The topic is serious, but the story is told in a light-hearted, witty fashion and without ridicule. I HIGHLY recommend it.” — Clinical psychologist Barbara Drescher
“A quick, romping, often sidesplitting read … the reader will close the book with a sense of warm pleasure—and perhaps be surprised to discover how much he or she has learned along the way regarding Mormon origins and present-day life on the Mormon fringe ... The reader will also have made a new friend: Joanne Hanks, whose journey from submissive Mormon helpmate to confident, empowered, secular American woman is this short book’s other great joy.” — Tom Flynn, editor, Free Inquiry
“Several times while reading this book I burst out laughing. My wife said, ‘Isn’t that the book about polygamy? Polygamy isn’t funny!’ I had to assure her that yes, this was the book about polygamy, and that it was damned funny … Of the dozens of recent books authored by those who escaped from polygamous groups, this one is unique and worth a read.” — Mormon studies scholar Richard Packham, Foundation for Mormon Letters
“Excellent book. True from the heart. We all can be sucked into cults. I love the truthfulness in this book.” — Kindle edition reader “Claire F”
