This was an amazing first hand account of growing up in the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints). The author was forced into marriage at the age of 14. She went against church elders and members of her family and left the FLDS. She also testified against Warren Jeffs at his trial. This book gives an insider account of the mind set of FLDS members that are in actuality part of a religious cult. This is a fascinating book that speaks out about basic human rights. I highly recommend this book. It will lead you to understand the FLDS members and their mindset and how it is possible for a large group of people to be lead by a pedophile pyscho (Warren Jeffs) mind, body and soul.
