Publisher Description
The uncensored, New York Times bestselling memoir by the polygamist stars of the hit show Sister Wives, Kody and his four wives openly discuss what it’s like living in a plural marriage.
A SINGULAR STORY OF PLURAL MARRIAGE
Since TLC first launched its popular reality program Sister Wives, Kody Brown, his four wives—Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn—and their seventeen children have become one of the most famous families in the country.
Now, with the candor and frankness that have drawn millions to their show, they reveal exactly how their special relationship works—the love and faith that drew them together, the pluses and pitfalls of having sister wives, and the practical and emotional complications of a lifestyle viewed by many with distrust, prejudice, even fear. How do the four relationships differ? What effect does a polygamous upbringing have on their children? What are the challenges—emotional, social, or financial—involved in living this lifestyle? Is it possible for all four sister wives to feel special when sharing a husband? How has being on camera changed their lives? And what is it like to add a new wife to the family—or to be that new wife?
Filled with humor, warmth, surprising insights, and remarkable honesty, theirs is a love story at heart, unconventional but immediately recognizable in the daily moments of trust, acceptance, forgiveness, passion, and commitment that go into making one big, happy, extraordinary family.
Customer Reviews
Becoming sister wives
This is an amazing account of love, strength, faith & family. The story is wonderful especially when you consider admitting being a polygamist could see their family torn apart.
I love the show but loved reading the book. Well done sister wives
A good inside view
Being a fan of the tv show I loved this book as it has given me a greater understanding of the family and their long history. The courage and bravery shown by Kody and especially the four women in his life is truly a remarkable read. I congratulate Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn for being true brave strong women and opening themselves up to the public. You are honest and open and are changing the world with what you are doing. You certainly have changed my views and opinions on polygamy and I thank you for that.
Interesting read but lacks depth
A lot of what they write about can be viewed on the show. I wish they had gone in a bit more depth to talk about their childhoods and deeper learnings through their experience of life
