Summary
A pioneer in the Mormon exposé , Deborah Laake recounts her strict Mormon upbringing and two disastrous Mormon marriages that left her a pariah in the church. Laake chronicles her life from innocence to full initiation. Married at 19, she describes the voodoo-like rituals and behaviors revealed to her on her wedding day— and the male dominance, strange teachings, and " divine" revelations characteristic of her religion. A Mormon Woman's Intimate Diary of Marriage and Beyond is an insider's look behind the facade and a story of courage and bravery at a time when no one dared speak out against the church.
