Keep Sweet: Children of Polygamy

Keep Sweet: Children of Polygamy, co-authored by Debbie Palmer and best-selling author, Dave Perrin, journals Deb Palmer's experiences growing up as a child in a community where plural marriages and religious dogma were the norm. Debbie was married to three different men - the first time at the age of fifteen - during her thirty-three years with the group of Mormon Fundamentalists in the community of Bountiful near Creston, BC. She was subjected to emotional, physical and sexual abuse. It was when she saw this cycle repeating itself in her children's lives that she fled Bountiful. Deb Palmer was profiled on CBC's The National, The Journal and The Fifth Estate; Global's Leaving Bountiful; and CTV's documentary for Prime Time News. A clip from the Fifth Estate documentary featuring Debbie Palmer has been aired twice on Oprah.
