Surviving Sister Wives

Ep 308: "Sister Wife: A Memoir" Book Club: Part 1

Season 1, Ep. 308

“Chapters 1-12”

Christine Brown Woolley’s autobiography, "Sister Wife: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Finding Freedom" is finally here - and we're loving it! This first section shows just how much she had to endure as Kody's third wife, particularly when it comes to oily body massages and awkward wedding nights. Join us as we give our two-cents about the ten cents that ended her friendship with Meri; her family history that's definitely (probably) not a cult, and her speed-run from disappointing courtship to even more disappointing marriage.
