A review by sadietay
The Sound of Gravel by Ruth Wariner

4.0

The epilogue made this a 4 instead of a 3.5 for me. Big trigger/trauma warnings in this memoir about a fundamentalist-Mormon group practicing polygamy in Mexico. It was honest, very disturbing, and heartbreaking. Ruth was able to breath so much light into her love for her family while writing about the horrors she and so many other children endured at the hands of her step-father and her community. Ruth is the definition of survivor.
