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.



Mostly Mormons, the naive victims sometimes realized on their wedding nights the truth about what had happened in Dr. Story's office.



In riveting detail, veteran crime writer Jack Olsen tells the searing story  of a small group of courageous women who decided to bring a doctor to justice -- and unearthed a legacy of pain and anger that would divide their families, their neighbors, and an entire town.


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.
