    Synopsis

    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 as well as independent families. Their stories include rape, incest, orgies, and violence, making this form of polygamy more akin to sexual slavery than to any quaint religious or lifestyle choice.

    July 14, 2009: This is a look into Polygamy and the shameful victimization that goes with it. It is well written and hard to put down. It is shocking that this goes on in the U.S.A. in the 2000's.

    May 31, 2009: This book made me angry! I wonder why the wrath of God has not been poured out upon those men who practice plural marriages! Too many of these stories ended up with no hope for the "survivor". This is not a book for children! How people get away with this stuff in this day and age is unconstitutional! What these women have gone thru makes waterboarding look easy!
