This book is by Elissa Wall who is telling her real life story. It is tragic what happened to her. She talks about her life growing up in polygamy and how she begins to realize how messed up it was. She was a sweet little girl born into a harsh sect. She talks about her life in childhood (the good and the bad times). Then she talks about how her life goes all wrong when she is ordered by the prophet to marry her cousin who she despises. Her life from their goes really down hill for a while until she realizes there is an escape from the nightmare shes living. She meets a really nice man who is also shunned for his issues with the beliefs. They fall in love and she gets away. She comes back to testify about what Warren Jeffs did to her and her family. Its a very heart wrenching story but it has a great ending. Its definitely not for children though. It is quite graphic with what happened to her through out her marriage to her cousin. Her cousin was an awful person and does some pretty awful things. I personally found the book very interesting and a good read. I would give it a nine out of ten.
