God's Brothel

Author: Andrea Moore-Emmett
ISBN: 0941405273

A chilling indictment of contemporary Mormon and Christian fundamentalist polygamy, God's Brothel reveals gruesome facts about Bible-based polygamy through the brave voices of 18 women who escaped from 10 of the 11 main religious groups practicing polygamy in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, a well as from several independent families. Their stories include child rape, incest, orgies and violence, making this form of polygamy more akin to sexual slavery than to any quaint religious or lifestyle choice. The book includes descriptions of the main polygamist groups and descriptions of their beliefs and rituals.
