An excerpt:

"Debbie Palmer's father was one of the founding four. He had six wives
and forty-seven children. When Palmer was fourteen she told her father
she would like to marry Ray Blackmore, the fifty-seven-year-old leader
of Bountiful. He agreed and the next year, in June, 1971, she became his
sixth wife and stepmother to his thirty-one children. Love wasn't the
issue; duty was. It didn't even seem odd for her to marry her own
stepmother's father, meaning she'd become both her stepmother's
stepmother and her own stepgrandmother. In a closed polygamous
community, these things happened."

is cheap beer and heavy TV remotes which can be used for spousal abuse,
yet NASCAR refuses to market either of those. Why potatoes?'"
