13. "Under the Banner of Heaven" is the book I think you're not quite
remembering. :D

Polygamy doesn't bother me, but what these people do can hardly be classed as polygamy. As you said, sexual exploitation, I'd go so far as to say sexual slavery would be more valid terms for what they practice.

I wish the media would get its mind out of the gutter and focus on what's important rather than the polygamy angle.
