This 2005 book, Just the Way You Are by Katie Parker, purports to teach morals and ethics to young adults. She lists herself as an educator at Western Governors University, and holding a leadership position in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in San Jose, California. She also contributes to several Mormon website, voicing her support of her church's efforts to ban same-sex marriage.
Alas, Parkers own principles are in question. One of the glowing reviews for her book on her promotional website is by fellow Mormon, Dyany Dittmer Munson of Kuna, Idaho. Munsons review titles herself as a writer, thus implying extra credibility. What isnt mentioned is that Munson and Parker, both in their 40s
and originally from Oklahoma, are longtime close friends and were roommates at the University of Oklahoma.
At the time of her review, Munson was a receptionist at a mental health clinic.
