Yup, I had time to read even another book. Maybe I should say I had less time to sleep... This book takes place in Arizona and Utah and was even more disturbing since it takes place right in our own "back yard". This story is of a mother who escapes with her eight children from a Fundamental Latter Day Saints community. She is married into a polygamist relationship - her husband being very powerful in the FLDS church & community. She shares this horrible man with (at the end) 6 other wives. The treatment of the women and children is shocking and it is incomprehensible that this entire community cannot be charged by the police because they have their own police with their own set of rules. Again, God's word is so twisted and added to in order to brainwash the women and children to follow the ever changing rules from the prophets. I do not think this book is well-written in a literary sense but the truth it expels opens your eyes to the horrible reality of a polygamist community.
