"In an undisclosed location in the rural West, an obscure polygamous religious sect known as the Brethren provides a psychologist with a glimpse into a world where "sister" wives live under the rule of patriarchal husbands who believe that women - like children -are not exempt from corporal punishment.
In surprisingly open first - person accounts, three of these wives and their husband (with names changed to protect their identities) describe their feelings, justification for and experiences living under such a system. Be cautioned that these stories include realistic depictions of corporal punishment and frank discussions on the polygamous lifestyle by a community that rejects not just modern conveniences but political correctness as well."
