Acerca de esta escucha
"Johnson eloquently conveys the absolute devastation Ana experiences at what feels like the ultimate betrayal by the person she loves most" (Readers' Favorite)
A powerful and heart-wrenching story of one woman's struggle with polygamy.
After spending her life fantasizing about her dream husband, Ana believes she has finally found the one when she meets Alec Coleman. He is charming, witty, and has looks to die for. The two feel an instant attraction, and it seems that Ana's dreams have finally come true.
But when Alec rekindles a relationship with his former ex-girlfriend, Ana's perfect life soon spirals into chaos. As a convert to Islam, Ana discovers her new religion allows men to take multiple wives. Ana thinks nothing much of it until Alec uses force and influence to draw her into a polygamous marriage. Grappling with betrayal feelings and unsure how she can share her husband with another woman, Ana learns why polygamy is called "the mother of all pain".
Gritty, poignant, and deeply moving, The Silent Tears of Polygamy is an eye-opening novel that explores the challenges that countless women in polygamous marriages struggle with daily. Inspired by a true story, this book provides a unique and memorable insight into a first wife's feelings and thoughts battling with jealousy and insecurity. A cautionary tale, Ana's story reveals how women can maintain their identity and take back control of their lives, one prayer, one voice, and one grueling day at a time.

Lipstick. Bright, red lipstick. Nothing but lipstick. Even though it's against our faith to wear a color that screams of sexual promiscuity and deviant behavior, I'm not allowed to protest. But, I want to. So badly.

Jill and Derick knew a normal life wasn’t possible for them. As a star on the popular TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting, Jill grew up in front of viewers who were fascinated by her family’s way of life. She was the responsible, second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle’s nineteen kids; always with a baby on her hip and happy to wear the modest ankle-length dresses with throat-high necklines.

You’ve never met the other wives. None of you know each other, and because of this unconventional arrangement, you can see your husband only one day a week. But you love him so much you don’t care. Or at least that’s what you’ve told yourself. But one day, while you’re doing laundry, you find a scrap of paper in his pocket—an appointment reminder for a woman named Hannah, and you just know it’s another of the wives.

I was born and broken in Birkenhead, abused from infancy by a network of every kind of pervert from ‘thinks it’s love’ to ‘show it hurts’. I was unwanted, beaten, sold, swapped, photographed, filmed, left for dead, corrupted, blamed, betrayed, ignored and orphaned. But I was also born with a fire inside me. I call it my Phoenix Fire. I am no victim—that word only describes what happened to me. Nor am I a survivor because that implies I am over it. I am a Phoenix—a work in progress. This is my story....

When she was 18 years old, Carolyn Jessop was coerced into an arranged marriage with a total stranger - a man 32 years her senior. Merril Jessop already had three wives. But arranged plural marriages were an integral part of Carolyn's heritage: She was born into and raised in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), the radical offshoot of the Mormon Church.

Growing up in the church, Kevin and Melissa Fredericks were taught endless rules and expectations around dating, sex, and marriage, but not a lot about what actually makes a relationship work. There were conversations that they didn’t know they needed to have, deep-rooted fears that affected how they communicated, and seasons of change that put their marriage to the test.

In his signature style of stand-up comedy bits, Jeff Allen shares the inspirational and at times laugh-out-loud story of how God rescued him from alcoholism and despair through the book of Ecclesiastes. At times, his story is tragic and even tear-jerking—but in the end, it demonstrates that God takes a customized approach to reaching each of His children. Known as “the King of Clean Comedy,” Allen’s memoir won’t disappoint.

In September 2007, Elissa Wall, the star witness against polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs, gave captivating testimony of how Jeffs forced her to marry her first cousin at age 14. This harrowing account proved to be the most compelling evidence against Jeffs, showing the harsh realities of this closed community and the lengths to which Jeffs went in order to control the sect's women. Now, in this courageous memoir, Wall tells the incredible story of how she emerged from the confines of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints and helped bring one of America's most notorious criminals to justice.

This book is nothing short of a whiny story. Poor pitifully me. The reader often reads lines and words twice. What a waste of time.
