Teaser Tuesday (09.08.09)

teasertuesdays31Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My teaser is from Cult Insanity: A Memoir of Polygamy, Prophets, and Blood Atonement by Irene Spencer.  You can enter for one of five copies of this title that I am hosting as a giveaway through Hachette Book Group.

A couple of weeks later, I saw a distraught Asian man, about thirty, sadly walking through the streets of the colony, crying and asking every person he encountered if they had seen his wife, Vonda.  When she realized he would not leave until he found her, she decided to confront him.

Definitely a powerful account of the cult mentality!
