I was a sociology major in college and had I not met my husband and decided to get married and start a family, I would have pursued advanced degrees and grants in researching countercultures. I am absolutely obsessed with what is going on in Texas right now and am reading everything on the topic of polygamy that I can get my hands on. And I have some very strong opinions about the judge's ruling. (I would like to see the mothers offered an option if they leave the compound and the community).
<i> The Secret Story of Polygamy </i> is a wonderful book that gives a very historical account of the basis of the Morman religion, LDS and FLDS. This is not a personal account, but a very informative study of the religion and the various sects that have broken away due to powerful belief systems. The author does a wonderful job of being unbiased.
