Other books which may interest you:
"Church of Lies" by Flora Jessop
Once Flora Jessop was finally free of polygamist clutches, she risked her life and safety to help others escape. She stood up to the pro-polygamy bullies in law enforcement who were determined not to enforce the law. Flora tells it like it is. The book is a page-turner!
"Shattered Dreams: My Life as a Polygamist’s Wife" – Irene Spencer
Because this book is free of the details of the characteristic sexual abuse experiences which are recounted in other books, this book is less intense.
"Wife #19" by Anne Eliza Young (BTW, she was actually BY’s wife #52.) Compelling, convincing, revolting account of Brigham Young and of Mormon polygamy of that time. Eliza Anne was the only one of BY’s 56 wives who dared to speak out about polygamy and how she had been treated. She became a successful and sought-after speaker. She was an amazing woman for her day.
"Lost Boy" by Brent Jeffs
The author, along with many other boys, was sodomized by his notorious uncle Warren Jeffs at age 5-6. It was when Brent’s brother (another young victim of Jeffs) committed suicide that Brent began to talk out about polygamist atrocities.
Brent Jeffs also appeared on this episode of Doris Hansen’s "Polygamy: What Love is This?" program, if you are interested:
