Description
“The Sound of Gravel is a portrait of real courage in a sea of pretenders. Ruth Wariner, you have my
respect as a writer and a survivor.― ―Kelly Corrigan, New York Times bestselling author of The Middle
Place'A haunting harrowing testament to survival.'―People Magazine'Wrenching and moving...Wariner is a
survivor, but more important, sheâ€s a fantastic writer.'―Entertainment Weekly'An addictive chronicle
of a polygamist community'―New York Magazine“Engrossingly readable from start to finish... an
unsentimental yet wholly moving memoir.― ―Kirkus Reviews'This well-written book is hard to put down
and hard to forget.' ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)'Haunting. Rather than delving into the particulars
of the communityâ€s beliefs, Wariner reveals them as they arise. This gives great depth to the portrayal of
her situation. With power and insight, Warinerâ€s tale shows a road to escape from the most confining
circumstances.'―Booklist'If your book club is looking for a startling memoir, look no further than The
Sound of Gravel. Disturbing, powerful, and poignant, Wariner delivers a harrowing story of survival and
taking the necessary risk of saving yourself.'―Real Simple“The Sound of Gravel will haunt you, and
Ruth Wariner will inspire with her direct, unsentimental prose. I lost sleep reading this memoir and felt
nothing but awe and respect. That Ruth survived to tell this story simply boggles my mind.― ―Jennifer
Lauck, New York Times bestselling author of Blackbird, Still Waters, Show Me The Way, and
Found“The Sound of Gravel is a riveting portrayal of what it's really like to grow up in a polygamist
community. Ruth Wariner's simple writing, her enduring love for her mother and siblings, and her dramatic
escape make this an engrossing, deeply moving memoir.― ―Claire Bidwell Smith, author of The Rules of
Inheritance and After This“What chance does a girl have in a world where men believe that they (and
they alone) are destined to be gods? This is the question Ruth Wariner bravely asks as she brings us into the
hardscrabble Mormon polygamous communities of remote northern Mexico. Like a Dorothy Allison of the
American West, Wariner shows us the humanity and tenacity in the people she comes from while making no
apology for wanting something better for herself. Ruth Wariner has given us an unforgettable portrait of an
enduring and deeply misunderstood segment of American society and a deeply moving account of her own
determined pathway out.― ―Joanna Brooks, author of The Book of Mormon Girl: A Memoir of an
American Faith“A beautifully narrated story that manages to be both heartbreaking and heartwarming at
the same time. Told with generosity and without self-pity, I turned each page with admiration of Ruth's
resilience and strength of spirit. Powerless as she watches her misguided mother endure a life of servility to
her stepfather, Ruth's love for her siblings and determination to break destructive family patterns will fill
your heart with hope and triumph. I will not be forgetting this incredible memoir anytime soon.― ―Cea
Sunrise Person, author of North of Normal: A Memoir of My Wilderness Childhood, My Unusual Family,
and How I Survived Both“I canâ€t remember a book thatâ€s had a greater impact on me. Beautifully
written, Ruth Warinerâ€s powerful, raw memoir will touch your heart like nothing youâ€ve read before.

Told with unflinching honesty and a childlike innocence, Wariner takes us places―emotional and
physical―few will ever experience, or even fathom. Ultimately this book is a testament to the human spirit,
a tale of hope. Its stories of tragedy, abuse, trust, and dreams betrayed are more than offset by Warinerâ€s
pure goodness: her courage, determination, wits, resilience, and ultimately, in her quest to save her beloved
siblings, triumph. Jon Krakauerâ€s Under the Banner of Heaven is a very good book. Ruth Warinerâ€s
The Sound of Gravel is a great book, one that will haunt and inspire you for the rest of your life. In her
exquisite and powerful telling, Wariner takes us to the darkest recesses of extreme polygamist
Mormonism―on a painfully real and personal level―and brings us back to the light.― ―April
Christofferson, author of Trapped“The Sound of Gravel takes us into the complex relationships of
families with intransigent beliefs, religious convictions so dogmatic that harrowing consequences are forced
upon their children. Ruth Wariner, this child of an isolated polygamist community, not only survives the
oppression, but writes this unaffected tale of compassion and haunting sadness.'― ―Sonya Lea, author of
Wondering Who You Are: A Memoir“The Sound of Gravel is a powerful indictment against religious
fundamentalism and the way zealots control and harm generations of women and children. This is an
important, and ultimately triumphant, story.― ―Julia Scheeres, New York Times bestselling author of
Jesus Land and A Thousand Lives
