For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.

This sounds like it might be an interesting read! I haven't read anything about this topic before.
Sounds like a tough read. I think the teaser is interesting, since the speaker realizes that her situation is not the best option.
I have this on my shelf to be read but I'm thinking I want to find the first and read it before I read this one.
Thus woman is in a very bad place. I don't see a happy ending.
Sounds like a chilling story!
I read about this book, but not read any reviews yet!
I wonder WHEN the memoir takes place as I don't believe Mormons have supported polygamy in a while. I do know that it still happen, I have Escape on my TBR pile.
Chilling book - looking forward to your review.
Thanks for commenting on my Teaser Tuesday!
I sounds really interesting. I read another book about one of these cults and I couldn't put it down.
Here's mine
A very intriguing teaser! I have not read anything on this topic before, I need to change that.
Thanks for the book suggestion and for stopping by my blog. :)
Oh man, that would just be ridiculously crazy to be trapped in a mormon marriage like that. agh!
here's mine!

Hi!
Sounds like an interesting book to read. I'll have to check this one out. Have a great day!!

Great teaser...I won this book, but haven't received it yet. I'm looking forward to it.
Good teaser - I have this one in my TBR pile. I am hoping to read it before the end of the year!
I'm sure if you'll check your book you'll find you are not reading about "Mormon's". The church you are reading about is a break off from "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" or the "Mormons". The group this book is about are called "Fundamentalist Mormons". They don't agree with the doctrines of the parent church so they broke off and made a new church.
I am a Mormon so I thought I'd gently correct you. Click here to learn more about Mormon’s
Oh i just got this book. I'm thinking I should read the first book first and then this one. Have you read her first one?
Interesting teasers!
I read Shattered Dreams, which dealt with polygamy and it was an eye opener.

I'm definitely interested in this book! Thanks for the teaser. I hope you're enjoying it.
Great teaser. This one has been added to my TBR list.
Yikes! I think that the reader probably has to be brave to face this subject material...not as much as the writer, obviously, but this sounds like a scary story. I don't know if I'd pick it up. Great teaser, though!
Thanks for coming by my blog earlier!
Great teaser! Yes, it does sound like insanity - especially the part about having nine children.
I've seen this one around and I'm very intrigued by it. Great teaser.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
This book should be arriving in my mailbox any day - I'm looking forward to reading it!
Here's my Teaser Tuesday.
This sounds fascinating! Before I read about the book, the teaser made me think...'What the...? I wouldn't put up with that!' LOL Then I read on. :)
Here's my Tuesday Teaser!
Have a good day!
Sassy

That's an interesting teaser. I'm curious about the book now.
Wow, interesting book. I would not know what I would do if I had to live like that. I have to much mouth so my hubby says lol.
Yikes! I'm not much of a fan of the cult books.
I havent read this one. It does sound good.
As a member of the LDS Church myself, I second what Kaye said above. The Church hasn't been involved with polygamy in over 100 years (give or take).
My Teaser is HERE
I just finished the book and did a review on my blog... I didn't like it, how is it going for you?????
Here is mine:

Interesting teaser this week :)
Just curious if you'd read Carolyn Jessup's book and how they compare. Her book was a tough read for me.
Oh my that is DEEP. It made me feel like I was a friend that wanted to support but didn't want to hear the truth. What a weird feeling from such a great teaser.
Thanks for stopping over to my blog.
