Non-Fiction Memoir
"Though Sophia (Kristyn Decker,) wasn’t entirely aware of it
until she began writing this book, she had always been on
her way out of polygamy. It started with baby steps—from
early years of neglect, molestation, and abuse—to giant
steps, after marrying at seventeen and then eight years
later encouraging her husband to take another wife—and
further onward. To avoid feelings of anger, jealousy, and
pain, Sophie graciously kept a sweet smile plastered across
her face and became a numb but “righteous”
workaholic.
During many tumultuous years as a
polygamist wife, mother, leader, teacher, and passionate
person, most of her questions and concerns were never fully
answered. Her heart struggled with what were deemed God’s
commandments and his myriad of puzzle pieces that never
quite seemed to fit. Her flight from polygamy truly began to
soar when a friend rescued her from years of self-loathing
and suicidal depression. Propelling her onward was Sophie’s
plight to get her sixteen-year-old daughter off the streets
and off drugs. As her daughter began receiving
court-appointed therapeutic help, Sophie began to discover
herself—a woman she now loves and honors.
After five
decades of anguish and lies—of watching herself and others
fail a commandment fraught with impossible rules and threats
of heaven or hell, Sophie chose heaven.
