Hi. I'm new here. This summer I've read 3 excellent books on the FLDS.
"Escape" by Carolyn Jessop-Her story of getting out with her 8 children! And she honestly tells what it's like to live as a polygamist woman, and it's awful!!!
"Stolen Innocence" by Elissa Wall. She is the woman that the Warren Jeffs trial was about. When she was 14, he forced her to marry her 19 year old cousin. It was a nightmare, and thank God she too go out.
"When Men Become Gods" by Stephen Singular. This book was more of an overview of the Mormon polygamist culture, and also interesting, but not personal like the other two.
It sickens and saddens me that women and children are basically living in bondage in this country. Women/girls are told to "keep sweet' and not express negative feelings. The husband usually has a favorite wife,who gets better treatment. Yes there is plenty of resentment. Don't believe what those women, who come on tv say.
