Resumen del Editor

In the wake of the #MeToo movement, has it become easier to speak out about sexual assault in religious communities?

Linda Wallheim, who is increasingly jaded with the Mormon church, has begun marriage counseling with her bishop husband, Kurt, hoping to reconcile their household and philosophical disagreements. On other days, Linda occupies herself with happier things, like visits to see her five grown sons and their families.

When Linda's eldest son, Joseph, tells her his infant daughter's babysitter, a local teenager named Sage Jensen, has vanished, Linda can't help but ask questions. Her casual inquiries form the portrait of a girl under extreme pressure from her parents to be the perfect Mormon daughter, and it eventually emerges that Sage is the victim of a terrible crime at the hands of her own classmates - including the high school's academic and athletic superstars.

Linda's search for Sage will lead her to the darker streets of Utah and once again cause her to question whether the Mormon community's most privileged and powerful will be called to task for past sins.

Be true to yourself.

I wish this series would be read by youth in YM/YW class or seminary. Maybe then the youth could begin change the rotten things in the LDS church that adults have too much invested in to change.

Disappointed

I was disappointed by this book. The plot was thin and most of the book was mostly a complaint about Mormon patriarchy. I do the the narrator contributes to the problem. She has a pleasant voice, but the way she emphasizes some words makes Linda seem whiny and complaining All. The. Time.
