Let's Talk About Polygamy

Written by historian Brittany Chapman Nash, this accessible book delves into the history of polygamy among the Latter-day Saints. Through candid discussion, Nash helps readers understand not only the facts and chronological story of polygamy but also the how and why. Why was it practiced? How did it work? And what does that mean for me? All these questions and more are discussed in Let's Talk about Polygamy.

The Let's Talk About series will include small, approachable books on important LDS topics—some controversial and others not. Each will be written by trusted, faithful scholars who can thoroughly explain the topic, including crucial key issues to consider, but will be presented in a less scholarly tone than the Gospel Topics essays. For people who have sincere questions and are seeking answers, this series will provide access to the some of the best thinking in the Church.
