Overview
What is Polyamory? "Poly" means "many" and "amor" means "love". The Polyamorist believes in "many loves". Marriage and monogamy are passé, stale, outdated. "Buyer Beware"! The Polyamory sales pitch is captivating: Unlimited lovers. Unbridled sexual relations. All consensual. Highly ethical promiscuity. With partner consent, Polyamory's badge of honor is its honesty, making it superior to dishonest cheating, swinging and adultery.
In the U.S, there are 13 to 17 million practicing polyamorists. US census shows 1 out of 6 single adults in America desires to engage in polyamory and 1 out of 9 has engaged in polyamory at some point in life*. And 1 out of 3 adults describes their "ideal relationship" as something other than complete monogamy**.
The writer's daughter-in-law Samantha*** "went Poly" in 2018 after a 10-year marriage to her husband Xavier***. Ismoire*** presents a raw, unfiltered and intimate account of how Polyamory plays out in her son Xavier and daughter-in-law Samantha's lives, their children's lives and yes, in her and her husband Anthony's lives as parents and grandparents.
Today, Xavier and Samantha form a throuple with newcomer Terry***, 29, (two men, one woman), all co-parenting their 9 year old biological daughter Abby and 3 year old Zach born to the polycule in 2020 with an "open door" poly policy for potential future lovers.
Does Polyamory work? Yes, if you think the following situations are desirable:
• Juggling precious hours a day between spouse, lover 1, lover 2, lover X, child 1, child 2, child X and a
career
• Having a sex calendar for spouse vs lover 1 vs lover 2
• Getting pregnant and not knowing who the father is
• Raising your kids in a large gender fluid and flowing commune
• Prioritizing Hookup dates over your children and/or spouse
• Waiting for your spouse/lovers to finally achieve "compersion", the perfect state of epiphany where he/she rejoices in your sexual gratification with a new/different lover
• Radically discarding all accepted traditions of sexual morality, marriage, family and religion.
Ismoire, grandmother to 4 grandchildren, gives insight into:
• Impact of Polyamory on her 3-generation Christian family
• Radical changes in her son as his wife goes Poly
• Psychological effects on her young grandchildren
• The Bible's stand on Polyamory
• Research on the effects of Polyamory on children
• Spiritual and moral degradation of her Poly family
• Trusting God through confusion and heartbreak
• Learning to love the unlovable and the immoral
• Mustering peace and joy in spiritual chaos and warfare
• Believing God has a purpose for all evil that Man do
• Courage to stand up for God and what Scripture says is right and true
• Being strong when we are persecuted for our faith
Society needs to brace for impact. With one out of three adults receptive and inclined to go Poly, Polyamory will have catastrophic impact on not just romantic relationships and marriages but on our Christian faith, our families and yes, our very precious children.
If Polyamory is allowed to proliferate further, it will radically change the complexion, nature and wholesome sustainability of our society as we know it today. Rather than provide cohesion and strength, Polyamory can tear families asunder and destroy human morality, decency and happiness. And yes, for Christians who believe in monogamy, Polyamory totally contradicts and upends all Christian and biblical principles.
"Along Came Poly-Amory: Buyer Beware" gives rare and personal insight into the dangers and pitfalls of Polyamory.. Hopefully, the author's intimate account of her family's Polyamory journey will dissuade the 34% of Americans desiring to engage in Polyamory.

About the Author
Lee Ismoire*, an executive for 30 years in large Fortune 50 companies, shares her front row seat into the lives of her son’s poly family over five long years. It is an intimate journey of heart break, suicidal episodes, fractured relationships, loss of faith and a loss of innocence. Above all, in the midst of polyamory carnage, Ismoire finds power, peace and inspiration in a loving and wise God who comforts, guides and teaches. Watching her strong, loving, faith-based family crumble like a house of cards, Ismoire examines:
-- What is polyamory?
-- Does polyamory heal or hurt marriages?
-- What does the Bible say?
-- Effects on young children
-- Power of prayer, faith and trust in God
-- Navigating through spiritual and moral chaos
-- Standing up for God against persecution
