About this listen

From TLC’s Sister Wives star Christine Brown Woolley, a groundbreaking and heartfelt memoir about living in a family like no other and finding the strength to leave polygamy—and the only life she’s known—behind.

Christine Brown Woolley had always dreamed of having a picture-perfect family—beautiful children, an adoring husband, and of course, a sisterhood of wives to share him with. Raised in Utah by practicing polygamists, Christine knew her life was less than normal, but that didn’t stop her from loving the full house of her childhood any less.

Becoming Kody Brown’s third wife in 1994, Christine finally found the big, happy family she had hoped for. When TLC’s hit show Sister Wives premiered in 2010, Christine knew it was her chance to shine a light on the brighter side of polygamy—the helping hands, the lively discussions, and their unmatched devotion to each other. But the cameras also revealed a much darker truth.

Now, in this candid tell-all, Christine shares for the first time the journey that led her away from polygamy and the bold path she is carving to live apart from all she has ever known. Moving, genuine, and insightful, this is a uniquely powerful tour de force of Christine’s journey toward and beyond her time in the spotlight as a sister wife.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A different world seen through the eyes of someone who lived it. Yhe lovely Chritine takes us behind the on-screen edited version of her life as a sister wife. she answers many questions we didn't know we needed to ask. Honest, blunt, kind, empathetic and more than a little bit amusing.
I love a happy ending.

found it very interesting to hear Christines story and felt very sad with what she had to go through. It’s fantastic that she’s found true love now.

Loved Christine’s journey and hearing her tell her story

This was a honest personal portrayal of a life that most of us can’t imagine. Being a polygamist is bought to life with the ups and downs, and the relationship challenges are made clear for wives and husband.
I found the story one that I knew to the extent of having watched some of Sister Wives on tv but of course this book tells of Christine’s thinking and state of mind in various episodes.
The narration was really good, as being from Christine as you can feel her emotion. Her love of her own children but also the children of her sister wives is evident through both the stories and the narration.
I very much enjoyed this story of growth, of battling generational viewpoints to find her best life, and of the intertwining relationships and how that can play out for one individual in a complex social grouping.
I await an autobiography of one of the other sister wives or Kody to get a full picture of life in this type of family.

A unimaginable life

Christine tells her story with grace & dignity & it was a perfect memoir to listen to as who better to tell her story than herself. It feels like a perfect bookend to her time on Sister Wives.

A beautifully told memoir

Loved how Christine shared HER reality of living in a polygamist family. What a brave kind soul (who along with her kids ) absolutely deserves her happy ever after. A great listen.

Raw and real. Recommended
