We love reader reviews

Of course, we’re human, so we love the positive reviews best of all. We just received five stars and kind words from “Buzd” on Amazon.com:

It's Not About the Sex My Ass pulls back the curtain on the realities of modern polygamy and its practitioners in this engaging, entertaining and poignant revelation. Ms. Hanks shares deeply personal insights into the practice and her feelings as an insider; her willingness to be honest about her experiences and emotions makes It's Not About the Sex a wonderful and engaging book. Kudos to Ms. Hanks for her courage in sharing her extraordinary experience and to both her and Mr. Cuno for providing this window into the world of polygamists. I loved it!—Buzd

In case you ever need to know:
How to tell an angel
from the devil in disguise

As revealed in Mormon scripture:

There are two kinds of beings in heaven, namely: Angels, who are resurrected personages, having bodies of flesh and bones ... Secondly: the spirits of just men made perfect, they who are not resurrected, but inherit the same glory.

When a messenger comes saying he has a message from God, offer him your hand and request him to shake hands with you. If he be an angel he will do so, and you will feel his hand. If he be the spirit of a just man made perfect … he will not move ... but he will still deliver his message.

If it be the devil as an angel of light, when you ask him to shake hands he will offer you his hand, and you will not feel anything; you may therefore detect him.

—Doctrine and Covenants Section 129
