Author: Flora Jessop, Paul T. Brown
From the Preface: — "My name is Flora Jessop. I've been called apostate, vigilante, and crazy bitch, and maybe I am. But some people call me a hero, and I'd like to think they're right too.

This is one of the best books on polygamy that I have ever read! It's a real eye opener to the abuses that go unreported in that cult community. It's sad that a system meant to protect children protects the abusers instead of the victims. I will never understand how something like this can exist in the USA.

This was a good book to read for anyone interested in life inside the FLDS, as well as the struggle to liberate women and children from the abuse inside the community. From the abuse undergone by children, to state authorities that continually fail to protect them, choosing instead to return them to their homes regardless of the abuse they report, this book recounts one woman's experience with it all. Definitely worth reading.

This book was good; however, the author's writing style was very different (almost simple). However, that is totally understandable, considering her circumstances.
