We really enjoyed reading this book as a group. The powerful women inspired us, and the story captivated us. Challenging topics such as: racism, bigotry, and second-class status brought about wonderful conversations and discussions. Highly recommended!

Two teenage sisters, a polygamist sect, and many horrible secrets fill the pages of "Hidden Wives." Rachel and Sara live in a home with their father, his wives, and other children, part of Blood of the Lamb sect. Rachel is determined to live the Principle, but Sara has her doubts due to her pending marriage to her uncle. Neither girl wants to defy the church, but something isn't right. Is Rachel really so beautiful that she causes men to lust after her? Is Sara really so rebellious that she deserves the punishments she endures? Can they escape before it's too late? Come meet Sara and Rachel, along with their family, Prophet Silver, Luke, Irvin, and Ernadine as their story unfolds before you.

This book read like something right out of today's news. The story was so compelling, the situations so real, that we all had a difficult time putting the book down. No one should ever have to live this way. We enjoyed our discussion, commenting on topics like: polygamy, incest, rape, interracial relationships, child abuse, and suicide. We still talk about it!
