recommended for: polgamist, bio
My second book of the year (08)was also a letdown.. I had hoped for the real story about Rulon Allred and Ervil LeBaron. I have known women in both families and know some of the very interesting story..
but.. this book is just too much suffering and self-sacrifice to the point of making me.. ill!!! On and on.. child after child, death after death, marriage after marriage.. A martyr is not the word for this author~~ Irene Spencer.
And only on the last page does author declare the book doesn't fell it all. It doesn't describer the terror to which my infamous brother in law, Ervil LeBaron, subjected us for several years and ordered the deaths of at least twenty-eight of our family, friends members of the church, I was one of the people on his death list which helped inspire me to go to along with many of our moves throughout Mexico and Central America.. .. ... so she ripped out page after page about him , realizing that this had to be my story..
