"I am the daughter of my father's fourth plural wife, twenty-eight of forty-eight children—a middle kid, you might say," her frank memoir begins, and Solomon (a freelance writer who now lives in a happily monogamous marriage in Park City, Utah) maintains a similarly gripping and poignant tone through the book. Her family's story is a fascinating one: Her father, the physician Rulon Allred, was also a fundamentalist preacher and a closet polygamist who went to great lengths to keep his plural marriages and sprawling family a secret from society at large. In 1977, he was shot to death by assassins from a rival fundamentalist sect, the bloody end to a misguided lifestyle that had already taken a severe emotional toll on many around him. His daughter does not hesitate to expose the violent and sexist behavior that permeates many of these cultish offshoots of the Mormon Church, but she does not reduce the believers to one-dimensional caricatures, either, and in the process of sharing a very personal tale, she often steps back to place it all in the much broader context of religion and society, charting the history of the Mormons and the contradictions between ideals and actions on the part of both church and state. --Jim DeRogatis ]]> 123588 1 6602248 2003 Predators, Prey, and Other Kinfolk: Growing Up in Polygamy total:78|5:8|4:30|3:33|2:6|1:1| 78 272 119 16 71163 3.49 253 70 12880030 760232 123588 0393049469 9780393049466 16 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171855312m/123588.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171855312s/123588.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123588.Predators_Prey_and_Other_Kinfolk_Growing_Up_in_Polygamy 3.49 78 SisterWife, Dorothy Allred Solomon's Predators, Prey, and Other Kinfolk couldn't seem more topical, but it is an even more powerful book because it has the weight of truth behind it.

Her family's story is a fascinating one: Her father, the physician Rulon Allred, was also a fundamentalist preacher and a closet polygamist who went to great lengths to keep his plural marriages and sprawling family a secret from society at large. In 1977, he was shot to death by assassins from a rival fundamentalist sect, the bloody end to a misguided lifestyle that had already taken a severe emotional toll on many around him. His daughter does not hesitate to expose the violent and sexist behavior that permeates many of these cultish offshoots of the Mormon Church, but she does not reduce the believers to one-dimensional caricatures, either, and in the process of sharing a very personal tale, she often steps back to place it all in the much broader context of religion and society, charting the history of the Mormons and the contradictions between ideals and actions on the part of both church and state. --Jim DeRogatis ]]> 2003 3 0 false Fri Aug 03 13:54:37 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 12 06:32:47 -0700 2007 more...]]> 18118565 986835 123588 0393049469 9780393049466 16 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171855312m/123588.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171855312s/123588.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123588.Predators_Prey_and_Other_Kinfolk_Growing_Up_in_Polygamy 3.49 78 SisterWife, Dorothy Allred Solomon's Predators, Prey, and Other Kinfolk couldn't seem more topical, but it is an even more powerful book because it has the weight of truth behind it.
