More about the book

The book delves into the complex legacy of polygamy within the LDS Church, challenging the mainstream narrative that it has been fully abandoned. Carol Lynn Pearson argues that while current practitioners face excommunication, the concept of polygamy remains embedded in church doctrine through "eternal sealings" for men, leaving women without similar assurances. Through personal and ancestral stories, as well as survey responses, Pearson reveals the emotional and relational toll this doctrine takes on individuals, particularly women, and advocates for a more humane understanding of faith and family.
