When Spokane businesswoman Marie Eddy steps to the podium Sept. 28 at the downtown Central in Spokane, Wash., she will present her mother’s story hosted by SpokaneFāVS’ FāVS Is Reading book club. “Torn: Married to a White Supremacist” is the first-person account of Marie’s mother Christine Eddy, a Spokane librarian who for more than 27 years was married to and lived with a white supremacist in Sandpoint, Idaho.
In “Torn: Married to a White Supremacist,” Chris Eddy writes about how her husband moved their family from California to North Idaho and eventually became the spokesperson for Butler’s neo-Nazi church. She writes about how her Catholic faith kept her loyal to her husband, and how she was able to separate the man she loved from his beliefs, which she despised.
