| KIM AND HER OLDER SISTERS BEFORE LEAVING UTAH TO LIVE IN THE COLONY IN MEXICO. |
This book will
be of special interest to those who remember the shocking events of what came to be known as “the Four O’Clock
Murders” that took place in Houston, Texas on June 27 of 1988, captivating the attention of the entire nation... An odyssey of mayhem, murder, and tragedy is what
Kim’s family unknowingly embarks upon in their quest for a peaceful existence in an unorthodox religious society. It
is on a deceptively fine spring day, at the tender age of seven, that Kim is uprooted from her comfortable middle class home
in Utah to be moved into a polygamous colony in Mexico. From that day forward her life takes dramatic twists and turns as,
one by one, her older sisters become plural wives and Kim herself is eventually courted by the polygamist fathers of some
of her good friends. Her relatively peaceful world is shattered when violence erupts within the ranks of the priesthood leaving
her sister a widow, and Kim fears for her own life as some of her closest friends become murderers in the name of religion.
In the end, her family is devastated by a tragedy of a more insidious evil.
