Emma Scholes’s Reviews > A Mormon Mother > Status Update

This book is wonderful and so tragic. I’m struggling to reconcile her gracious intelligence and self-insight with her husband’s manipulative, self-important, neglectful blasé attitude. Her family is beautiful, but her marriage was such a waste. Many marriages are uniquely unhappy, but this was compounded by the polygamy. As Annie notes, it’s easy to turn to another family when another has some tension.
