Drawing on material from her just-released book, The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy: Haunting the Gearts and Heaven of Mormon Women and Men, Pearson will share stories from the more than 8,000 respondents to her survey on this subject. The picture is one of extraordinary pain, showing how the lingering and powerful presence of polygamy in our psyches, our temples, our scripture, and our anticipation of eternity destroys marriages, debilitates women’s self-esteem, harms men, and erodes faith in the church and in God.
