I only had the privilege of meeting in person with four of the women; the rest I got to know through the mail and over the phone. Each of their stories is different. Each is heart-rending. Some are frightening. Some requested - either because of fear or because of a desire for privacy - that their names be changed for this book. But with each of the women, two common elements prevail - the deep and abiding love that each has found for the real Jesus of the Bible, and the conviction that an LDS woman is, at the very highest estimate, nothing more than a second class citizen in the Mormon world.
