If you haven't gotten a gutful of polygamy from the Tribune, DNews and "Big Love," then here's guaranteed satiation: a tome about Warren Jeffs' clan.

Inside the World of Warren Jeffs, by author Dr. Carole A. Western, takes the reader inside Short Creek, two nearby communities in Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz., where the Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) leader ruled until his arrest and conviction in the fall of 2007 as an accomplice in the rape of a 14-year-old girl.

Western follows the lives of young women "enslaved in Short Creek," says the publicity release, and exposes with lots of exclamation points how they were "coerced into virtual servitude and forced into unwanted pregnancies by the "husbands" they were ordered to marry."

The few men and women who manage against great odds to escape, tell tales of deprivation, starvation and beatings, but does anyone really listen?

No penny dreadful exploitation here, no siree.

Western, above, is an English teacher who moved to Southern Utah, according to the book's publicity. "It took seven years, death threats and undercover visits to Short Creek to glean information for her book."
