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.

New Book Excerpt From Daughters of Zion:

Kathy would learn the true meaning of suffering for her religion as a full fledged plural wife and pioneer of Los Molinos. She became familiar with poverty, physical hardship, and loneliness  on her barren piece of land with no well or electricity. Like most of Joel's other wives, my sister had no car, so using a child's hand -wagon, she continued throughout her pregnancy to haul water from a well nearly a mile away on the far side of the colony. Often she did not see Joel for weeks, sometimes months.
