"The Silent Tears of Polygamy" is a powerful and heart-wrenching story of one woman's struggle with polygamy.
After spending her life fantasizing about her dream husband, Ana believes she has finally found the one when she meets Alec Coleman. He is charming, witty, and has looks to die for. The two feel an instant attraction, and it seems that Ana's dreams have finally come true.
But when Alec rekindles a relationship with his former ex-girlfriend, Ana's perfect life soon spirals into chaos. As a convert to Islam, Ana discovers her new religion allows men to take multiple wives. Ana thinks nothing much of it until Alec uses force and influence to draw her into a polygamous marriage. Grappling with betrayal feelings and unsure how she can share her husband with another woman, Ana learns why polygamy is called "the mother of all pain."
Gritty, poignant, and deeply moving, The Silent Tears of Polygamy is an eye-opening novel that explores the challenges that countless women in polygamous marriages struggle with daily. Inspired by a true story, this book provides a unique and memorable insight into a first wife's feelings and thoughts battling with jealousy and insecurity. A cautionary tale, Ana's story reveals how women can maintain their identity and take back control of their lives, one prayer, one voice, and one grueling day at a time.
Polygamy is on the rise, not only in the United States but worldwide. Many women are left unprepared to tackle the challenges of living in polygamous marriages.
The usual information about polygamy primarily addresses it in theory only. There is a lot of talk about Mormon polygamy, but polygamy as lived by Muslims, not so much.
The Silent Tears of Polygamy is unparalleled and will assuredly give one a better understanding of themselves and others. Women will learn that they are not alone. The book is about more than just enduring and coping or surviving. It's about becoming a better version of you. There is a reason for all that we go through in life.
