Description
A remarkable true story of one girl's coming-of-age in a polygamist Mormon community. Ruth Wariner's memoir, The Sound of Gravel, recounts her life growing up on a farm in rural Mexico, where she was raised in a community that taught her that women could only ascend to Heaven by entering into polygamous marriages and giving birth to as many children as possible. As Ruth navigates her family's strict beliefs and her own desire for a better life, she struggles to balance her love for her siblings with her determination to forge a path of her own. Her story is one of survival, resilience, and the power of finding peace and love in the face of adversity. Recounted from the innocent and hopeful perspective of a child, The Sound of Gravel is a gripping and intimate account of a girl fighting for her future.
