GLORY BE!! I’ve DONE IT!!
Yes, it’s true. I have FINALLY bested the Book of Mormon on Amazon.com. Better yet, I have been doing better in the rankings for MANY, many hours of this day.
BoM–#34,249
W&S–#20,956
SUCCESS!!!!!—WOOO HOOOO!! I am ahead. For once, for ONE SHORT MINUTE in the Amazon view of reality, Wives and Sisters is beating the Book of Mormon!! Go Sisters, go Sisters. Whoop, whoop!
I’d like to thank the academy, and my mom and dad, and my family, and I know this Church is true, and it’s the only true Church, and Joseph Smith….Whoops. Funny how thank you speeches sound a lot like testimonies.

Hey Natalie. I found your link on the exmo list.
I read “Wives and Daughters” back when it was first released last fall (I bought it at Media Play on Riverdale Road). Great read! Very suspenseful and I loved the attitude. It’s not often I read a book with a heroine with my same Mormon rage. ; )
You linked to Dooce.com awhile back and I’ve enjoyed reading her blog. It’s nice to know there are kindred spirits “behind the Zion Curtain”.

Take care and congrats on your ranking.

And right now, somewhere deep in the Mormon backwoods, wife #5 has hidden your book in her tiny drawer she calls her own…hope Zeb or Jeb or Mordichi doesn’t find it!
SO PROUD FOR YOU!!!!
