(2003) and Never Say Die (2006). They have all become Canadian and international best-sellers. His new book, When the Going Gets Tough, was released in December of 2010. His first three books have been translated into Japanese, Korean, and Estonian, and are for sale in seven countries. Keep Sweet: Children of Polygamy, a book he wrote with Debbie Palmer about the polygamous community of Bountiful, won the 2005 VanCity prize for the best BC book on women’s issues. Dr. Perrin lives and writes in the log home he built on his farm in the community of Lister.
