If you're confused about the roots and development of Mormon fundamentalism (the churches who regard themselves as true followers of Joseph Smith and who practice polygamy), there's a helpful chart at mormonfundamentalism.com.

Also, if you're interested in first-person accounts of what life is like in a polygamous marriage, google the name Carolyn Jessop. There's a wealth of information online about her, including several London Daily Mail interviews.

For more information, see The Mormon Mirage 3rd Edition:  A Former Member Looks at the Mormon Church Today (Zondervan, 2009). Also available as an audiobook and as an expanded-text E-book for Nook, Kindle and other reading devices.
