The Sound of Gravel by Ruth Wariner

5.0

The riveting true story of a young girl living in a polygamist colony in Mexico. Ruthie begins the story as a 5 year old living in a shack in Mexico with her mother and brothers. As the years go by the family grows and they move back and forth between Mexico to the US, sometimes running away from her abusive step-father, sometimes moving back to be reunited with him. A fascinating look at the life and tragedy of a polygamist second wife and her 10 children.
