“WHAT PEACE THERE MAY BE”–

MEMOIR OFFERS GLIMPSE INTO POLYGAMOUS

LIFESTYLE

This memoir is about growing up while suffering abuse in a polygamous family living in Utah . The author says , “In writing the book, I let the rotting parts of myself die and I asked the book to carry the emotional truth that my body could no longer hold.”

Young Susanna didn’t know anything other than the family environment that was created for her; a system without regard for society or man’s laws. Raised in a sequestered home in a busy city neighborhood, everything beyond the front gate was off-limits.

The isolation proved to be a breeding ground for abuse and Susanna struggled to reconcile her desire to escape and her need to belong. The book recounts six critical years of Susanna’s youth during which she struggled to come to terms with the conditions of her life.

This coming of age story is as much a testament to survival as it is to surrender. Pushed to the limits of her coping abilities, Susanna tried everything she could think of to bring about the peace that always seemed out of reach.

In an impulsive moment and an act of daring, she contacted a newspaper journalist and found herself in a predicament that she never before considered. That decision became the impetus that propelled her to where she wanted to be and to finally find personal peace.
