I am very glad she's telling the truth about Mormonism, which is often covered up.<br />There are some men in prison for sexual abuse of girls; that much I know.<br />And a lot came out when the state went into a Texas encampment of one sect, and a lot of awful things came out about mistreatment of teenage girls, and of adult women.<br />Also, a sheriff interviewed said that he was very upset whenever a very desperate, despairing teenage boy was in his office, having been ousted from his community. He said they cry about being separated from their mothers.<br />Teenage boys are considered competition for the young woman by the older men, so they're just tossed out with nowhere to go.<br />This may be a few sects. I don't know if they all do it.<br />I do know that Abby Huntsman, who grew up in a Mormon family in Utah, left Mormonism because of their denial of equality to women and their hostility to gay people. <br />I don't know if I'll read the book, as I get upset at mistreatment of women, but I will watch Harrison at PP's Facebook page.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-5851167851395359622021-05-26T01:51:13.391-07:002021-05-26T01:51:13.391-07:00You're welcome.

Also, my son lives in Utah currently and is surrounded by the Mormon religion on a daily basis.

It's so hard to read sometimes, and in this case, it can bring a lot of backlash. I feel for Harrison. This sounds like a gritty book in the sense of real honesty, and I can see how parts of it could be hard to read. I give her credit for not glossing over things.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.com
