About this listen
Award winner! With a new introduction by best-selling true-crime author Ron Franscell.
For twenty-five years, the trusted family doctor in a small Wyoming town had been raping and molesting the women and children who most relied on him. Mostly Mormons, the naive victims sometimes realized on their wedding nights the truth about what had happened in Dr. Story's office.
In riveting detail, veteran crime writer Jack Olsen tells the searing story of a small group of courageous women who decided to bring a doctor to justice--and unearthed a legacy of pain and anger that would divide their families, their neighbors, and an entire town.

"This masterful book by the author of
Son, as much a searching sociological study as a true-crime narrative, tells what happened in Lovell when these happenings came to light: the community lost its bearings and the doctor was convicted of rape." (
Publishers Weekly)

In depth account of a terrible crime
The author does an amazing job of ensuring the victims have a voice and are presented respectfully, balancing this with a clear illustration of the perpetrator. This is about more than the crimes of which Dr Story was found guilty - it is about the systematic disempowerment of women by a religious order, placing them at risk through deliberate exclusion and secrecy. Dr Story is not the only villain in this powerful account.

Disturbing Story
What a terrible story this is! But written and narrated so well, I couldn’t stop listening. Looking forward the purchasing my next Jack Olsen masterpiece. Kevin Pierce is the BEST narrator too.

Great book
Loved it. Although I struggled to grasp the whole concept of the victims not reporting it to authorities sooner. Being an LDS myself I was amazed at how naive the LDS women were. Maybe it's because I grew up in a different time to them. I am also amazed at the amount of people who refused to believe that Dr Story is guilty of these crimes. To me his guilt is blatantly obvious.

An exceptional book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It sure was... couldn't wait to get back to it. Have listened to it twice now, and will probably listen to it again!

A longer book but still gripping.
I thought it was unlikely this story would maintain my interest over 22 hrs of audio, but what a surprise. This author is amazing. His use of punctuation and ability to bring so many affected people into the story, and explain brilliantly how they are woven into the fabric of the story, kept me gripped. Excellent narrator.
