Suzanne E. Greco’s The Stone Sphere is a courageous blend of memoir, investigative journalism, academic treatment, and institutional critique, centering on systemic sexual abuse protections within the LDS Church and the author’s own journey as a survivor. The book intertwines Greco’s harrowing experiences of childhood sexual abuse, her escape from domestic violence, and her pursuit of justice with a rigorous examination of the LDS Church.
Key themes include:
Greco reflects on the dual role of David F. Holland—an ordained LDS leader, Harvard Dean, and son of a Church Apostle—who supported the author’s escape from abuse while navigating institutional policies and moral responsibility.
Greco examines how cultural and doctrinal frameworks within the LDS Church hinder accountability.
With voices of allies, ancestors, and scholars, the work emphasizes healing as a right and amplifies suppressed testimonies.
Aimed at readers of true crime, social justice, and spiritual memoir, The Stone Sphere stands as both a monument to survivors and a manifesto for collective action.

I read The Stone Sphere in two days (essentially reading all day and into the evening. I am a slow reader, but I could not put it down. It is a masterful work! I have read many books where the authors share their story (which Suzanne does) and books which are an academic treatment of the same topic (which Suzanne does), but I very rarely find a book where someone can convey their journey AND integrate the academic analysis of their experience throughout the book. It is not easy to do, and Suzanne did it very well. My journey through the book consisted of tears and anger and ended with hope and admiration and many questions. An excellent book does that for me.
