 Good Book July 8, 2008

I enjoyed reading this book. Broke my heart to hear everything she and her family went through. I thought the first half of the book was a litle slow moving but otherwise I enjoyed it. She's a strong woman. I would recommend this book.

This is such a compelling story. I normally am reading about 2 or 3 books at any given time and this is one of the best books I have ever read. I have the hardest time putting this book down. It is amazing. Every sentence has me hooked. The media has a certain idea of how things in the FLDS work, but this inside view is unlike any other. It is like living on another planet (FLDS). I will always have an infinite amount of respect for Elissa Wall for everything she has been through... and still being able to smile everyday as well as tell her story to the world. I support her cause and thank her for being one of the few people to stand up against Warren Jeffs.

My heart broke as I read what this little girl endured - all in the name of religion.

Illuminating behind the scenes look at Warren Jeffs FLDS cult.
The author is a very brave woman coming forward with this expose...not only of the Cults modus operandi but also fascinating dysfunctional polygamous
familial infighting. Get this book!
Inside look June 18, 2008

Elissa Wall provides an insider's look at the FLDS, both without Warren Jeffs in charge and with him. Her story is very believable and fascinating. I enjoyed it more then the other three books I have read about women escaping from the FLDS. The text is very readable, and while it is longer than most, the story is written in such a way as to pull you along. It draws you back to find out what will happen. She is a brave woman to put herself out there to bring charges against a powerful monster man, and knowing she would alienate much of her family. It is a story of hope and standing up for what you believe in. Terrific read.
