Book Review of The Witness Wore Red: The 19th Wife Who Brought Polygamous Cult Leaders to Justice

StrawberryOES avatar reviewed on + 87 more book reviews


This is a compelling, true account of one FLDS member who finally escaped from this Mormon Polygamist group. The fascinating thing about it for me was that I lived right in Salt Lake City where all of this was going on, but I don't remember there being allot of news on the trial, etc. I lived in SLC for over 35 years, and in that time I can say I saw quite a few of the Polygamist families walking around the city. They mostly lived at the South end of the SL Valley. The SL Police did not bother them, which I thought was very strange. I was born and raised in Los Angles, and so I never had any contact with Mormons, until I moved to Utah. If you want to find out what the FLDS group was really like, read this account. I could not put it down.
