Author Grows Through Tribulation

An excellent portrait of the author's relationship with her father, who becomes leader of a Mormon Fundamentalist group. While the pressures he bears brings growth to many in the extended family, Dorothy feels the weight coming down between her and her father, seemingly severing them - eternally.Through her journey into adulthood, she finally sees her father's true love for his wives and children, even all the group members, a revelation that shakes her unsteady convictions.With a forboding sense of doom, he allows her to chronicle his last days...A beautiful story of transformation.
