Natalie Collins' WIVES AND SISTERS is just out in mass market paperback and looks like a great Mother's Day present.
Look at the blurbs for this book about the secret lives of Mormon wives:
"Please warn your readers, this is not a book that can be put down. It’s so compelling, so dramatic, with strong suspense and mystery elements, that I had to find out what would happen.”—Perri O’Shaughnessy, New York Times bestselling author of Unlucky in Law
‘“A dark, powerful debut novel. Natalie Collins pulls no emotional punches crafting this searing tale of one woman's search for justice.” ---Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of The Killing Hour
“Startling and compelling--I could not stop turning the pages. Natalie Collins weaves an absolutely riveting tale."-- Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of The Sinner Natalie is in the Girlfriends' Cyber Circuit with me, and has a popular blog called Trapped By The Mormons which has generated quite a bit of hate mail for the author, a former member of the Mormon church, who dares to make some observations about the culture of patriarchy and secrecy within some of the more extreme elements of Mormon society. For that reason alone I want to go and buy her book, which would make a nice bookcase companion to Krakauers' UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN, a nonfiction look at the same demographic.
