"He gave love a bad name."

[Eva]

No, this book wasn't really about love. It was about psychosis and the effect of a brand of Mormonism on the lives of the family of the disturbed woman.

There is something about religion that if you teach a child specific tenets early enough, those tenets are very difficult to remove from the psyche. No amount of rational thought seems to be able to completely eliminate them.

I am aware that the type of Mormonism that Gilmore's mother exhibited was not mainstream, so don't get upset with me. I am not bashing Mormonism.
