“Thoroughly enjoyed this read”
Thank you, Amazon readers, for more great reviews
“Easy read and really funny. Sometimes the only way to handle a horrible experience is with a good laugh. The author does a great job at laughing. Finally you can look behind the curtain to see what is really happening in these cults.”—cshreve
“Being born and raised in Utah it is always nice to get a glimpse into the secretive world of those who hold tight to the original principles of the LDS church. Joanne Hanks did a good job in this book of giving readers her insight into what was going on in her head and what goes on in others peoples heads as they are involved in polygamy. Her humor is intact although you are able to get a feel that it masks a lot of pain. Thoroughly enjoyed this read on this interesting subject.”—Eric
“I had not read Joanne Hanks before, but was attracted to the ever-so-mystic topic (Mormonism). I enjoyed the book, both its informational tone and its delivery. Ms Hanks appears to have a flare for the ironies of life and counts and recounts her personal anecdotes with meaning, humour, and style. She starts the book telling us why and how she became a ploygamist, a blind believer in nonsense and a direct (re-incarnated) decendant of Maria Antonniette. She then methodically, through witty stories of her personal experience, takes us to the self de-conversion into a free thinker and a reasoned person. She begins to see in every Mormon ‘commandment,’ new and old, the self serving purpose behind them and her new world begun to open up. This is an enjoyable and informative book.”—Rodolfo Pena
“If you want to know the thinking inside the mind of a ‘sister wife’ then this book is it. No beautiful prose here. Just over-the-back-fence storytelling. I was engaged.”—Don Smith
