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.

Does any one else have a problem with a mother who routinely has homeless men come into her home in some sort of act of charity, and a father who last night chastised the leadership in Congress for not acting quickly enough on Meghan's Law legislation?

Although the legislation makes sense...none of this would have happened if Mrs. Smart had been more concerned with the welfare of her children and a little less concerned with taking care of vagrants.
