We continue talking through part four of Shari's book. Please note that we had to end our recording session abruptly before finishing part four, and then it was the end-of-the-school year shenanigans and traveling, and we couldn't find time to record. Sooooooo we'll finish the last two chapters of part four next episode and tag it at the begging of part five.

For being a part of this series, we actually aren't talking about Ruby too much. Instead, we introduced some high-profile folks that come out of the LDS church. Why are we talking about Tim Ballard, and Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell? Well, we're laying some groundwork for next week, but we'll see some striking patterns of behavior and language from these people. What links them all?
