“The statement by Warner praises the obvious nature of his story … an attractive and emotional story was given directly without an ounce of Atma-Daya.” (Library Journal)

A deep-affected audibook memoir of a girl’s upcoming age experiences in a polygamy cult.

Ruth Warine was ranked 39th out of 42 children of his father. Rural growing in a field in Mexico, where the authorities close their eyes for the practices of their community, live in a Ramshakal House without Ruth indoor plumbing or electricity. In the church, preachers teach that God will punish the wicked by destroying the world and women can only enter the polygamy and give birth to more and more children and climb into heaven. After Ruth’s father – the man who was the founder of the colony was the Prophet – brutally murdered by his brother in the bid for the power of the church, his mother remarry, becomes another wife of another loyal congregation.

In the need of government aid and complementary income, Ruth and his siblings are made back and forth between Mexico and the United States, where his mother collects welfare and his half-father works as a variety of odd jobs. Ruth loves from the time when she spends in states, it feels that perhaps the community she was born is not right for her. As Ruth starts doubting his family’s beliefs and questions his mother’s choice, he struggles to balance his fierce love for his brothers and children, with his determination to create a better life for herself.

Recalling from the innocent and optimistic perspective of a child, the voice of gravel is a remarkable true story of a girl fighting for peace and love. It is an intimate, catching audiobook resonance with victory, courage and flexibility.
