She is now 23 yrs old...she just published this book. She was just on Larry King Live. I read this book, and I must say that it gave me a better insight into the culture of the FLDS. It was her testimony that put Warren Jeffs away in prison.
It also has helped me understand most of whats going on in texas right now, and I realize how difficult this must be for the mothers and the children - but the Texas Officials are doing the RIGHT thing. |
I just finished this book yesterday myself and recommend it to anyone who really would like to understand what goes on in the name of religion with this organization. Unless you are raised this way, no one can fully understand the type of brainwashing that starts from the day these children are born. They and their mothers believe it is the only way to get to heaven. I found it fascinating.
