Publisher Description
In September 2007, a packed courtroom in St. George, Utah, sat hushed as Elissa Wall, the star witness against polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs, gave captivating testimony of how Jeffs forced her to marry her first cousin at age fourteen. This harrowing and vivid account proved to be the most compelling evidence against Jeffs, showing the harsh realities of this closed community and the lengths that Jeffs went to in order to control the women in it. Now, in this courageous memoir, Elissa Wall tells her incredible and inspirational story of her time in the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), detailing how she emerged from its confines to help bring one of America's most notorious criminals to justice.
Customer Reviews
Informative, Emotional
A very informative book that gives us a detailed look into an ex FLDS member’s life, starting from childhood up until present. This was an easy read, with lots of well explained information and detailed scenes throughout. Really felt for the author, it was emotional reading about her journey to happiness and her thought process when choosing between faith and family.
Very interesting book
Really enjoyed finding out about FLDS something I didn’t know much about I wish she would write another one to find out what been happening from the last one
