Becoming Sister Wives: The Story of an Unconventional Marriage
by Meri Brown, Kody Brown, Christine Brown, Janelle Brown, Robyn Brown
Even tough I finished this book a while ago I still don't really know what to write about it.
I read the book because I've seen some episodes of Sister Wives on TLC, my guilty pleasure. Because I only watched a few episodes I din't know too much about the family so it was nice to read more about them in this book.
The book sometimes was a bit repetitive. Each of the wives tells her story, but often those overlap. At the same time it was nice to have all the different views so while it did bug me a little sometimes I don't think it would be easy to avoid this.
What makes it hard to write about this book is that I really don't know how I feel about their lifestyle. They seems like a great loving family, and are pretty liberal and modern not something I expected of a polygamist family. The book kind of confused me. Polygamy is so strange to me and something I don't really agree with. It seems sexist and unfair. But at the same time the Brown's do not hurt anyone, seem to like the lifestyle and the women are defiantly not shy suppressed women. They all seem pretty strong. So yeah, I am confused.
The goal the Brown family hoped to achieve with the show and book was to put polygamy in a better light. And while I still don't really understand the lifestyle and I'm not sure if I agree with it, my view of it has changed and they have shown that at least it doesn't have to be scary and demeaning.
