WOW! I love books like this that take the reader into a culture that they may otherwise never experience. This is a very powerful story of a girl who grew up in a polygamist sect and came through it with a story to tell. Its very powerful. The narrator connects easily with the reader and never once do you feel like she is using this story as a way to vent or be vindictive. She seems to understand her past, she does not pass blame or hate, just tells her story. Its the closest thing to an unbiased story that a person could tell after living through what she lived through.
