Since I almost became a Mormon in 1977, (I am happy to tell you my story privately) I was intrigued by this title.
It is informative to hear it from someone raised in the culture of this religion. I agree with most of the things she says regarding this.
This memoir is from her perspective, but she wants to diss her husband at the end (so what if he is frugal and wants to fly Southwest Airlines, really?) when it seems more like incompatibility from the get-go (she was bored on the honeymoon) than how she paints him as the "bad guy" in the relationship and "patriarchal." That made me sad. Marriage is about compromise, and his giving up because she is just going to do it "her way" anyway reflects poorly on her more than on him. He remains quiet. This is admirable. Is he really such a bad guy when he has not said anything to denigrate her character?
Other than this part, I felt like it was a good and informative read.
