Secret Ceremonies: A Mormon Woman's Intimate Diary of Marriage and Beyond

I was hoping there would be more information about the inside workings of the Mormon church. After the wedding ceremony and the first divorce, that was pretty much it. The rest of the book went on about the author's struggle coping with her mental state. I didn't find that part bad, it wasn't what I was looking for when I picked up the book. I am sad to hear that she took her own life a few years after the book was published due to her depression after her fight with cancer. The epilogue shifted her attention back to the LDS church which I found interesting.
