Doc
Book Description
For twenty-five years, the trusted family doctor in a small Wyoming town had been raping and molesting the women and children who most relied on him. Reader Reviews
As a student of Mormon history and theology, I thought that this book might potentially be an interesting read--certainly, the silence about sex in the Mormon community, as well as the strict patriarchal structure can tend to be problematic in instances...I believed that this book would be about a man who took advantage of the "Mormon system" so to speak. Indeed, I was correct on this count, but truly, this book is grotesque, written like a shoddy V.C. Andrews piece...I felt dirty simply for reading it. It truly has no merit...though what happened to these women is certainly horrific, I hardly think that this book handled the situation with the gravity it deserved; rather, Mormon women were fetishized, and molestation and rape were handled in the most gratuitous way. Indeed, the writing itself is almost mastubatory--it is indeed revolting and I was certainly suggest that anyone thinking to read this book would look elsewhere. |
