Book Review of The Secret Lives of Saints: Child Brides and Lost Boys in Canada's Polygamous Mormon Sect

Grnemae avatar reviewed on + 451 more book reviews


A well researched and in depth story of how the Canadian branch of the FLDS came into being. The polygamous sects are very intertwined and this story follows many of them and shows how although they may have slightly different ideas on how they put their beliefs into practice they have many things in common. But in all of them, the men rule and the women and children are treated as nothing more than slaves.
