Tell-All Book Riles Mormon Church

“The daughter of one of Mormonism’s most prominent religious scholars has accused her father of sexually abusing her as a child in a forthcoming memoir that is shining an unwelcome spotlight on the practices and beliefs of the much-scrutinized but protectively private Mormon religious community… The Mormon Church issued a statement condemning the book, calling it ‘seriously flawed in the way it depicts the church, its members and teachings.’ [The author] and her publisher have said she has received e-mail messages containing death threats. In addition, Mormons around the country have participated in an e-mail campaign against the book.”
