Shattered Dreams Irene Spencer

Shattered Dreams is the autobiography of a woman in a "plural marriage." It is a fascinating story of a woman who finally found the stregnth to leave her "marriage" after thirteen children in fourteen pregnancies. She was the second of ten wives. There are vivid descriptions of her life in the community in Mexico, where the families moved to escape the laws in America. I believe she has been interviewed on Oprah, but I didn't see it. This one really was hard to put down; one of those windows into a world you never knew anything about.
