People Magazine An addictive chronicle of a polygamist community. New York MagazineRuth Wariner was the thirty-ninth of her fathers forty-two children. Growing up on a farm in rural Mexico, where authorities turned a blind eye to the practices of her community, Ruth lives in a ramshackle house without indoor plumbing or electricity. At church, preachers teach that God will punish the wicked by destroying the world and that women can only ascend to Heaven by entering into polygamous marriages and giving birth to as many children as possible. After Ruths father--the man who had been the founding prophet of the colony--is brutally murdered by his brother in a bid for church power, her mother remarries, becoming the second wife of another faithful congregant.In need of government assistance and supplemental income, Ruth and her siblings are carted back and forth between Mexico and the United States, where her mother collects welfare and her step-father works a variety of odd jobs. Ruth comes to love the time she spends in the States, realizing that perhaps the community into which she was born is not the right one for her. As Ruth begins to doubt her familys beliefs and question her mothers choices, she struggles to balance her fierce love for her siblings with her determination to forge a better life for herself.Recounted from the innocent and hopeful perspective of a child, The Sound of Gravel is the remarkable true story of a girl fighting for peace and love. This is an intimate, gripping book resonant with triumph, courage, and resilience....1507724The Sound of Gravel219284https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-sound-of-gravel-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/521178/4ee08172-ac42-48ca-aa4a-912c2534b277.jpg?v=638335144608830000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20169781250077714_W3siaWQiOiIxMGEyNzczNS1hZjUzLTQwYWUtYjMxZS0xOGNiODVmOGEyZDEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI4NCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjY1LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIxOSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d;9781250077714_W3siaWQiOiIxMGEyNzczNS1hZjUzLTQwYWUtYjMxZS0xOGNiODVmOGEyZDEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI4NCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjY1LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIxOSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781250077714_pstrongA emNew York Times/em bestseller, emThe Sound of Gravel/em is the remarkable true story of one girls coming-of-age in a polygamist Mormon Doomsday cult./strong/ppstrongA haunting, harrowing testament to survival. emPeople Magazine/embr /An addictive chronicle of a polygamist community. emNew York Magazine/em/strong/ppThe thirty-ninth of her fathers forty-two children, Ruth Wariner grew up in polygamist family on a farm in rural Mexico.
