  • Growing up in polygamy

    Anna W. - 1 month ago

    Ruth Wariner grew up the thirty-ninth of her father's forty-two children from many different wives. After her father's passing, her mother remarries her stepfather as his second of four eventual wives. Learning about the abuse, neglect, and other struggles she faced whilst still doing normal childhood activities was so moving. Ruth's story is so heartbreaking but also so inspiring!
