505 0  Prologue -- Bad daughter. Feels like home ; Domo arigato, 
       Mr. Roboto ; Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies ; I'm
       a puzzle, I must figure out where all my pieces fit ; 
       Nightswimming ; Rise and shout, the cougars are out ; Your
       life, little girl, is an empty page -- Bad missionary. 
       Love is a temple ; Called to serve Him, heavenly king of 
       glory ; Le chaleur humaine ; I got so high that I saw 
       Jesus ; My heart will go on -- Bad wife. Lost on you ; 
       Secure yourself to Heaven ; God gave me you ; Which part 
       is mine? ; I'm harboring a fugitive, defector of a kind ; 
       Somewhere that's green ; Put your shoulder to the wheel, 
       push along ; If you loved me, why'd you leave me? -- Bad 
       Mormon. I can breathe for the first time ; There must be 
       fifty ways to leave your lover ; The hill I'm walking up 
       is getting good and steep ; Looking for Heaven, found the 
       devil in me ; In my life, I love you more -- Bad ass. All 
       of these lines across my face ; Only girl (in the world) ;
       A diva is a female version of a hustla ; Started from the 
       bottom, now we're here ; I think life chose me after all -
       - Epilogue. 
520    "Straight off the slopes and into the spotlight, Heather 
       Gay is known to dish God's honest truth. Whether as a 
       businesswoman, mother, or television personality, Heather 
       is unafraid to blaze a new trail; even if at the isolation
       of her family, friends, and church. Heather was born and 
       bred Mormon. Growing up in Utah, not even the snow-capped 
       mountains could draw attention from the state's most 
       prominent resident: the Mormon Church. Between attending 
       orthodox services, embarking on an eighteen-month mission,
       attending Brigham Young University, and marrying into a 
       "royal" family, Heather was the definition of a "good 
       Mormon." However, when the doting wife's husband 
       unexpectedly filed for divorce, she was left out in the 
       cold by her church and her community. In this funny, brash,
       and unbelievably vulnerable book, Bad Mormon recounts 
       Heather's experiences as a single mother to three girls, 
       navigating life post-divorce and post-Mormonism. It 
       follows Heather's early days as a young girl in the church,
       through to her disavowal of the Mormon faith and success 
       in both business and television. The Real Housewives of 
       Salt Lake City star documents the challenges of raising 
       strong women despite feeling broken, and teases out the 
       complicated relationship between duty to self and duty to 
       God. Bad Mormon works to reconcile cultural and religious 
       beliefs, with shifting ideologies about the world and its 
       inhabitants. And Heather is its charming narrator. Hers is
       a story of honesty and transparency in a community where 
       skeletons line the closets. Heather Gay is anything but 
       shy, and it shows in her work. It's a story about finding 
       healing after heartbreak and accomplishment after 
       abandonment-from a woman unafraid of holding anything 
       back"--|cProvided by publisher.
