I'm baffled by everyone's efforts to bend over backwards with diplomacy
toward Martha Beck. So let me do what I am famous for: telling it
straight out with bluntness and clarity.
Martha Beck is either lying through her teeth or lost all touch with
reality. Or a combination of both. All the evidence supports that
conclusion, and she has none to support her accusations.
Period, end of story.
We need to get past this feminist-induced idiocy that men are always
demons and women can do no wrong. I have a close friend who right now is
being threatened with loss of his membership, and to a large extent
it's because of this insane bias against men. I have intimate knowledge
of the details of his circumstances and I know that he does not merit
what's happening to him any more than Hugh Nibley merited what his
daughter did to him.

the LDS publisher your mother warned you about. There you
can order the provocative new LDS novel BROTHER BRIGHAM
by D. Michael Martindale.
What advance readers have said about BROTHER BRIGHAM:
"This story takes you to heaven and hell and back. You
read it in a day and then catch your breath and want a
cigarette--and then you remember you don't smoke.
Brother Brigham is a subversively sensual journey to
the edges of Mormon possibility, a weirdly cathartic
purging of the darkest fantasy in the Mormon psyche."
--C.L. Hanson, blogger
"Jack London once made my heart pound, but Michael
Martindale is the first writer to rock me back in my
chair in wide-eyed amazement. LDS readers will not be
able to get through Brother Brigham without a test of
inner character. Whether they like what they learn
about their own loyalties depends on who they are
before they pick it up."
--Preston McConkie, journalist.
"I had a hard time putting it down, and as a result I read
it surprisingly quickly. I had to know how the whole
mess was going to end. It’s deep, well thought out, and
opens up some interesting and thought-provoking
ideas."
--Lee Penrod, reader
"Brother Brigham is a fascinating take on the LDS
concepts of angels and revelation."
--Dave Sharp, writer
"At first this book starts out kind of quirky and funny, but
quickly grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go until
it's done. It will surprise you in so many ways."
--Kathy Tyner, reader
"The story still lingers in my mind. It was a real
page-turner!"
--Eileen Stringer, reader
"I was scandalized by the book, but I couldn’t put it down.
I had to find out what happened next."
--Alan Palmer, reader
