The first section of the book provides an overview of polygamy, with emphasis on outlining the major polygamist groups in the Americas. I found this section to be very dry, and difficult to read. The majority of the book is comprised of brief histories of different women's experiences in polygamy. These stories are interesting, but lack the details and length necessary to be compelling reading.

This book reminds me of a textbook, rather than memoirs. I did not enjoy it as much as "Shattered Dreams," by Irene Spencer.
