The Sound of Gravel: A Memoir
by Ruth Wariner
The Sound of Gravel (11/18/2015)
What if you were your Mother's fourth child and your father's thirty-ninth? I was fascinated to read a memoir written by a woman who had been a very perceptive child in a polygamous family. The author has tremendous recall about the feelings and thoughts of the child she had been. This memoir is the story of male dominance and tragic religious zeal.
