Hardback. Condición: Good.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A riveting, shocking account of the founding and flourishing of the polygamous, fundamentalist Mormon sect in Bountiful, B.C. Here, Daphne Bramham uncovers the surprising truths about Bountiful, the epicentre of fundamentalist Mormonism in Canada, and tells the story of its self-appointed prophet and bishop, Winston Blackmore, who has dozens of wives--several of whom he married when they were as young as fifteen. The Secret Lives of Saints is a story of sex and power, a story of violations of Canada's criminal code hidden behind the veil of the Charter of Rights. Running through the narrative are the most troubling questions of all: Why has nothing been done to stop the illegal practices of this sect? Why haven't the polygamists, pedophiles and abusers been charged and jailed? This book will leave you pondering the notion of tolerance--whether it is possible to have both religious freedom and individual rights and where the line needs to be drawn between them.…

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Near Fine. First Edition; First Printing. A near-fine volume in a near-fine DJ, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 464 pages; "colonies of renegade fundamentalist Mormons have continued to practise polygamy and thrive to this day in Canada and the United States, despite the fact that they are flouting the law. In the U.S., the "prophet" Warren Jeffs made headlines when, having been placed on the list of America's Most Wanted, he was apprehended in 2006 and was convicted as an accomplice to rape. While his acolytes and subjects lived in poverty, Jeffs was driving around in a luxury SUV when state troopers pulled him over. The story is much the same here in Canada, where the "bishop" of a fundamentalist sect in Bountiful, B.C., Winston Blackmore, heads up a multi-million dollar group of companies and flies on private jets while his supporters and employees live hard-scrabble lives and tithe their meager earnings to the church. Daphne Bramham explores the history and ideas of this surprisingly resilient and insular society, asking the questions that surround its continued existence and telling the stories of the men and women whose lives are so entwined with it â" both the leaders and the victims.".…
