leaving polygamy is like a slave in the old south leaving his master. you have no job skills, no money, no knowledge of the outside world. and you're freed -- but where do you go?

wow. the women's stories are horrible. one well-spoken dark-haired woman (Tapestry of Polygamy -?) about how when girls in the family turned 16, dad took them out to a movie. on her 16th, they went out and then he told her about how she now needed to learn so she would know how to please her husband and he would be her teacher. and then she would be like her mothers, a sister wife like them. and she shouldn't say anything to any of her mothers, because sister-wives don't talk about sex. "I was terrified." wow.
