I was in the mood for a celebrity wallow and that’s what I got. I have never watched Homosexual on any reality TV program, but was drawn by the book’s sassy title. I checked out the audio version of this memoir from Seattle Bibliocommons and listened to it in the evenings when I was watering my plants.

I will not be giving a star rating for this guide. I’m not here to tell you how I felt about the publication but to grant you an plan about how you’ll likely feel reading Bad Mormon.
Utah businesswoman and reality luminary Heather Gay was raised as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but publicly left the religion during the first season of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. In her memoir, Gay discusses her faith journey and her departure from the LDS faith.
