“No stone goes unturned” (People) in this memoir by reality star Heather Gay, from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and documentary series Surviving Mormonism, where she reflects on her departure from the Mormon Church and her unforeseen success in business, television, and single motherhood.

Straight off the slopes and into the spotlight, Heather Gay is famous for speaking the gospel truth. Whether as a businesswoman, mother, or television personality, she is unafraid to blaze a new trail, even if it means losing family, friends, and her community.

Born and bred to be devout, Heather based her life around her faith. She attended Brigham Young University, served a mission in France, and married into Mormon royalty in the temple. But her life as a good Mormon abruptly ended when she lost the marriage and faith that she had once believed would last forever.

With writing that is beautiful, sad, funny, and true, Heather recounts the difficult discovery of the darkness and damage that often exists behind a picture-perfect life, while examining the nuanced relationship between duty to self and duty to God. “An eye-opening firsthand account of religious indoctrination told with candor and sincerity” (Interview magazine), Bad Mormon is an unfiltered look at the religion that broke her heart.

Are you kidding!??

Heather! An incredible Author!!! I binged this book in one setting while the kids were at school. So glad I did! I loved every bit of it and loved to getting to one her past more deeply! Highly recommend!

So pleasantly surprised!

I am an avid reader and watch real housewives of any city as a guilty pleasure. Have read most of their books. By far and away Heather is the best writer and narrator of her story. I found this book to be honest, insightful and most of all, life building.
She encourages while she also shows why the “perfection” mentality is so dangerous. Thank you Heather. You did an incredible job and should be so very proud of this “baby.”

I am a fan!

I love Heather Gay and the Housewife franchise. They can do no wrong in my book. To hear her story just makes me love her more.

An honest, transparent life story of success

A lovely book to listen to, I love the transparency, the raw emotions that are eventually realized.
I recommend this book!!

Loved!

Thank you for your bravery, Heather. I really enjoyed hearing about your journey in your own words and voice.
