Secret Ceremonies: A Mormon Woman's Intimate Diary of Marriage and Beyond
Hissy-Fitz avatar reviewed Secret Ceremonies on + 19 more book reviews


An eye-opening account of what goes on inside the Mormon Temple. Deborah Laake writes with real candor.....how many women could bring themselves to discuss masturbation with their fathers, let alone write a book in which the praises of self-gratification are loudly sung? (I loved her father's respnse, by the way. Talk about your cool dads!)

Although I think it's sad that the author eventually lost a faith that she once cherished, I did enjoy the book.
