Jana Riess: For Latter-day Saints who aren't so rigid about the church that they can’t bear seeing it criticized, Heather Gay's book is a compelling read.
— memoirs that are beautifully crafted. This is a straight-from-the-hip account of one dissident’s experiences, and I suspect from a couple of small miscues about Mormonism that it may have been at least partly ghostwritten by someone who was not as steeped in the faith as Gay herself.)
Despite some closet doubts, Gay was a hyper-successful missionary who spouted the church’s prescribed answers to every question. And in her 20s, she met and married the man of her dreams in the temple, then had three beautiful daughters in quick succession. As a stay-at-home mom, she deferred to her husband’s wishes and tastes. This life was what she’d been taught all her life was her eternal destiny.
Gay’s picture-perfect marriage was not the fantasy she portrayed it as in her extravagant annual Christmas cards. In one of the book’s most poignant sequences, she writes that after several days ofon her honeymoon, she realized that she and her husband were very different people. As in, they had nothing in common and little to say to each other.
