Mara Mapes knew me when I unsuccessfully tried to grow my hair out in middle school, was in a sorority with my wife, and also took my engagement pictures. To top it all off, she just earned her master's degree studying human development. "The Sound of Gravel" is an unforgettable and gripping memoir about growing up in a polygamist, fundamentalist Mormon cult. Mara's education brings quite the perspective to our conversation, and we also unpack our shared perspective as Christians reading the book. Recorded June 5, 2020.
