My Big Fat Mormon Life

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 2, 2009

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the author's candor and honesty. It was a fast read written in a way that felt very much like the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". I have a feeling that if you like that story, you will enjoy this one. This book is Elna's journey as she struggles to identify who she is and what she believes. The title is very telling in that it states many important facets to the book: - New York:...

It's lonely being a Mormon in New York

By Thriftbooks.com User, September 18, 2009

Elna Baker dishes the quintessential coming of age (sort of) story of a Mormon girl outside of Utah. Elna Baker had never lived in Utah, a fact that she claims with great pride. With an unerring eye for the qualities of Mormonism that allows its followers the claim of being "peculiar people" and a genuine love for the church Baker describes her years living in New York following high school. Armed with an upbringing that...

One of the best memoirs I've read in the last few years!

By Thriftbooks.com User, September 13, 2009

The New York Regional Mormon Singles Halloween Dance is a fantastic example of why I love memoirs! It has everything you would want in an entertaining memoir, things such as hilarious work stories (my favorite part of the book Babies Buying Babies), to relationship problems, to questioning one's faith, to major weight lose. Elna Baker covers a lot of ground for someone so young. Elna is a Mormon and it was really interesting...

Refreshing candor, charming humor, and the guts to tell the story!

By Thriftbooks.com User, September 4, 2009

It is hard to decide where to start this review. I am a Mormon. I joined the Church at age 30, almost 45 years ago. I have lived in the Mormon Singles life then, when I joined, and then after my wife died following 35 years of marriage, I entered the scene again as a seventy-something adult. I know something about the scene Elna Baker paints, and it is so true to life it almost hurts. If you doubt that, take a look at Unfinished...

Mormon or not get this book!!

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 29, 2009

After reading the product description, I felt that this book would be a typical chick lit read about a quirky Mormon girl who goes through a bunch of bad dates and finally finds the one. It was absolutely not that! And you know what? That's a very good thing! What this is, is a memoir of a Mormon girl who has grown up in the church, trying to reconcile her relationship with God, and her search for a man. Through the book we...
