93. But FLDS is way different than mainstream Mormonism!

Be careful of confusing them and generalizing based on the events of the book. UTBOH was an well-written, anecdotal story about a tragedy that any fundie could perpetuate. It has nothing to do with what seems to interest her son.

A much better introduction to mainstream Mormonism is this book, which I read as part of an American religious traditions course in college:

The author is a non-Mormon professor at the University of Illinois.
