Becoming Sister Wives : : the Story of an Unconventional Marriage

AADL has no copies of this item

In many ways, the Browns are like any other middle-American family: they eat, play, and pray together, squabble and hug, striving to raise happy, well-adjusted children while keeping their relationship loving and strong. The difference is, there are five adults in the openly polygamous Brown marriage--Kody and his four wives--who among them have seventeen children. Since TLC first launched its popular reality program Sister Wives, the Browns have become one of the most famous families in the country. Now Kody, Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn reveal in their own words exactly how their special relationship works--the love and faith that drew them together, the plusses and pitfalls of having sister wives, and the practical and emotional complications of a lifestyle viewed by many with distrust, prejudice, even fear. With the candor and frankness that have drawn millions to their show, they talk about what makes their fascinating family work.--From publisher description.

emotional without revealing reality submitted by andreahubert on July 4, 2012, 5:52pm A lot of praise for Kody by all of them. Never really explains the religous belief behind the "principle". Like listening to therapy sessions.

Merely scrapes the surface submitted by semartin on August 24, 2012, 12:44am I enjoyed this book, it was nice to discover the back story behind the family as it is now. However, none of the chapters really goes into the type of detail that I craved as a reader. Entertaining, but left me unsatisfied as a whole.
