About The Sound of Gravel by Ruth Wariner
Ruth Wariner recounts her childhood in a polygamist family on a farm in rural Mexico, where her father was the colony’s founding prophet. She describes a home without electricity or indoor plumbing and a religious community that taught women to enter polygamous marriages and have large families.
After her father is murdered by his brother, Wariner’s mother remarries, and the family moves between Mexico and the United States. Told from a child’s perspective, this memoir follows Wariner as she questions the beliefs around her while holding fast to her love for her siblings and seeking a different future. It may interest readers of coming-of-age memoirs and accounts of family life in religious communities.
