I am currently reading a book about modern day polygamy with the FLDS- "Escape" by Carolyn Jessup. Taunya lent it to me. Now this one is mind-blowing. I have a hard time understanding how someone could live in that lifestyle, but I can figure out how it would be rationalized. Obedience to the husband represents obedience to God. I'm in the middle of the book and she's just had her 4th (out of an eventual 8) child. It will be interesting to see how she actually gets the nerve and strength to get out!

What am I reading?
I love historical fiction. Earlier this year, I read "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett. It was set in an English village in medieval times and is about the building of a huge Gothic cathedral in the fictional town of Kingsbridge. So, I just finished the follow-up "World without End". Both were excellent, especially if you like nice long books!

Did you ever find that "Pillars of the Earth" book? Because I want to borrow it if you still want to loan it to me.
