Our Winter 2011 Selection: "Leaving the Saints"

The next book for the Women of Trinity Book Blog is Martha Beck's, Leaving the Saints: How I Lost the Mormons and Found My Faith. For those familiar with Beck's writing, they know she is a talented writer who openly shares her experiences. In this book, she chronicles her return to teach at Brigham Young University after the birth of her son, Adam, who was born with Down syndrome. (Her book, Expecting Adam, tells about her pregnancy and the faith she found despite the challenge of having a Down syndrome child.)

We will "live" blog at 7 p.m. on the following Thursdays, covering the noted chapters:
* Thursday, February 17 - Chapters 1-15 (pages 1-107)
* Thursday, March 17 - Chapters 16-18 (pages 108-218)
* Thursday, April 28 - Chapters 29-Epilogue (pages 219-336).
