The author, Elissa Wall gives a shocking and realistic look inside the life of polygamists in America. She explains how the polygamist life is set up purely for the benefit of men. Girls are groomed from a young age to serve the men, bear children, and basically live a life of poverty and slavery. Elissa was married off at the age of 14 against her will.
This book is shocking - that this type of society actually exists in America. The FLDS has learned how to manipulate the laws, welfare system, and everything around them, and the women and children suffer.
Elissa was one of the lucky ones who escaped and now lives a somewhat normal life on the outside. A must read for anyone interested in women's issues, the power of religious cults, and children's rights in America. You will be infuriated that this lifestyle is legal in our country.
