A depressing situation, but she is an optimistic person and worked her way through. She has eleven bros and a dozen sisters and testified at the Jeffs 2007 trial.
"At age sixteen, I'd been married for less than two years and already I'd had two miscarriages and a stillbirth (245)."
Note the poignant picture of her brother, kicked out, as he walks to the highway with his backpack and a cardboard sign saying 'Denver.'
I read some of the book on the bus and will take it to the old soldiers' home shelf on Saturday. It was the only non-fiction book in the lobby of the VA Hospital on Thursday, along with a few dozen romance novels. Luckily I was able to leave a few blood and thunder novels, a reprint of a 17th C. English playwright's work, etc.
The book has no index, a major shortcoming.
