Quest to legalise[sic] polygamy in Utah
Some 40,000 people in the US state of Utah live in illegal polygamous families in which a man takes more than one wife. These fundamentalist Mormons have now begun a campaign for a change in the law they regard as discriminatory and unfair. Humphrey Hawksley met some of the families involved.
"All right everyone, listen up," shouted Kody Brown, brushing his shoulder-length hair clear of his face.
He put both hands out in front of him, pointing towards 12 children aged between four and 14 gathered around a square table in the middle of a huge kitchen. Six were on one end. One all alone in the middle and five with their mother stood at the other end.

I've read that one. It's pretty good. I bought it from the book store where she works as a matter of fact. Unfortunatly I left my copy on the bus and now have to buy another. :-(
