Sister Wife
From TLC's Sister Wives star Christine Brown Woolley, a groundbreaking and heartfelt memoir about living in a family like no other and finding the strength to leave Mormonism--and the only life she's known--behind.
Christine Brown Woolley had always dreamed of having a picture-perfect family--beautiful children, an adoring husband, and of course, a sisterhood of wives to share him with. Raised in Utah by practicing polygamists, Christine knew her life was less than normal, but that didn't stop her from loving the full house of her childhood any less.
Becoming Kody Brown's third wife in 1994, Christine finally found the big, happy family she had hoped for. When TLC's hit show Sister Wives premiered in 2010, Christine knew it was her chance to shine a light on the brighter side of polygamy--the helping hands, the lively discussions, and their unmatched devotion to each other. But the cameras also revealed a much darker truth.
Now, in this candid tell-all, Christine shares for the first time the journey that led her away from polygamy and the bold path she is carving to live apart from all she has ever known. Moving, genuine, and insightful, this is a uniquely powerful tour de force of Christine's journey toward and beyond her time in the spotlight as a sister wife.

Christine Brown Woolley was always my favorite sister wife from the TLC show and I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book when I heard about it. I chose the audio version so I could even have her read it to me. This book takes us from Christine's childhood, where she was raised in a polygamous family through her time with Kody Brown and finally ending up with her current life. I was hooked from the start and I loved every bit of insight the book gave on her life. Once the cameras stopped rolling, real life began. Life has not always been easy, but Christine has come out of a very dark place and emerged into someone who is thriving.
I loved every bit of this book and highly recommend it!
