He runs his own business and coaches Little League. She drives a minivan and relies on her BlackBerry. They enjoy date nights, while their kids attend public schools, play sports, and take music lessons. Living in a spacious suburban home, they appear to be a typical family—yet they are polygamists. For years, polygamous families have had to conceal their lifestyle, facing legal risks and societal isolation. This memoir offers a compelling glimpse into the daily lives of the Dargers, an Independent Fundamentalist Mormon family who embraced polygamy from a young age. Uniquely, both Alina and Vicki expressed interest in Joe simultaneously, leading them to court and marry him together on the same day, with Valerie joining the marriage a decade later. The Dargers challenge stereotypes surrounding polygamy, presenting themselves as an average American family despite their unconventional structure. They share their reasons for choosing this lifestyle, the challenges of secrecy, and their hopes for legal acceptance. Told from the perspectives of the four parents and including insights from their children, this account aims to dispel misconceptions about polygamy and advocate for change in societal attitudes and laws. The Dargers are determined to reveal the truth behind their lives, countering sensationalized portrayals with their authentic story.
