A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets. It’s all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzy lifting drinks! You bumped into the ceiling, which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day, sir! I buried the truth. I would lose the crown and kingdom I had sacrificed so much for. I feared that one movie would undermine all the good I had done on my mission and in my life. But still I was paranoid that the mission president would somehow find out and send me home. I waited for my new companion to arrive, shadowed with shame about what I had just done. No prior feeling in France compared to the tranquility I had while cloaked in the sanctity of the theater watching the iceberg sink the ship.Īfter the movie, I snuck out and didn’t put on my name tag until I was a safe distance from the theater and in my own neighborhood.

I felt more like myself and closer to God in that theater than I had felt over the past sixteen months of prayer-filled, scripture-filled missionary service. I didn’t fully catch every word, but I did not care. (Feb.The movie was in French with no subtitles. Real Housewives disciples will relish these unfiltered revelations. Gay’s narrative is by turns cheeky (“In the name of the Father, the Son, and Andy Cohen”) and reflective (“There is real sorrow for the lost years and a general heaviness that weighs on my heart when I think of the past”), and even when discussing her struggles, she writes with self-deprecating humor. For most of her adulthood, Gay writes, she didn’t question her faith, but after her decades-long marriage ended in divorce, she felt isolated from her community and realized how Mormonism encouraged its followers to “suffer silently.” When Gay was asked to join the Real Housewives franchise, though, it was a “rebirth”: “For the first time in my life, someone wanted me for all that I brought to the table.” By the show’s second season, Gay had left the church and formed bonds with new friends and supporters. Born in Carmel, Calif., to devout Mormon parents, Gay moved with her family to Utah before her freshman year at Brigham Young University.
In this spicy debut, Gay, a fan favorite on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, recounts her life and how it was changed by being cast in the reality show.
