Sobre este artículo
New York: Center Street: The Hachette Book Group USA, 2007. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 9th Printing Stated First Edition: August 2007, Ninth Printing per Number Line. Hard cover in very good condition with orange boards and red spine cloth containing gold-gilt spine lettering. Interior text block clean and tight with no markings noted. Dust jacket very good; DJ not price clipped (original cost $24.99.) Contains 16 pages of black & white photographs. From the jacket, ""Irene Spencer grew up in a fundamentalist Mormon family - the thirteenth of thirty-one children - so it was no surprise that she found herself, at sixteen years of age, in a plural marriage, sharing her husband with a half-sister.Enduring abject poverty, living in isolation, and suffering the neglect of a husband with divided loyalties created unbearable conditions. Yet Irene managed to overcome these obstacles to seek a life that she believed would be better for her and her children. She made the bold step into the ""outside world"" and into a freedom she never knew existed. The details of her harrowing experience will appall, astonish, and, in the end, greatly inspire. This dramatic story reveals how far religion can be stretched and abused, and how one woman and her children found their way into truth and redemption.""
