So I told my husband I wanted to read some great material that was not in favor of Mormons... Loving Under the Banner of Heaven... It's nice to read about some actual shit Joseph Smith did as opposed to just being told how righteous and awesome he was. What a load... A pant load, that is. Any other great books you know of that wont lie to me the way TSCC did?

I loved Housewife to Heretic by Sona Johnson. It was the first book I read after I left that church. I couldn't put it down.

Might make you angry when you read about her Court of Love where she wasn't allowed to bring any witnesses with her to face what I call the Excommunication Board.

You can find a used one here:-

An Insiders View of Mormonism, by Grant Palmer
One Nation Under Gods, by Richard Abanes

In Sacred Loneliness, by Todd Compton. It gives you a really tragic look into some of the true horrors of Joseph Smith's polygamy.

Here are some books I've read in mentally exiting mormonism. Some are non-fiction and some are fiction. They all explore faith in tscc in some manner. Its helped me to look and understand things from different angles, along with the different experiences people have had. It was helpful for me to see that I was not alone with my experiences in tscc.
