Book Review of Stolen Innocence: My Story of Growing Up in a Polygamous Sect, Becoming a Teenage Bride, and Breaking Free of Warren Jeffs

This is another one of those books that I'm unsure of how I feel about it. A memoir that is heartbreaking to read, but at the same time, something that I wish I was still ignorant about. I know that events like this really happen to people and it saddens me, but I'd just rather not know about them. Not because I'm unfeeling, I just like living in my happy, fluffy little world where every thing is coming up roses. The pictures were a nice addition to the hardback edition, but if you choose to go with the audiobook, the narration was well done, having chosen a voice that you could easily imagine as that of a child.
