Hope75 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Just finishing this book and found it a fascinating read. A true account of a women of the FLDS cult of polygamists. She was the 4th wife of a powerful FLDS leader Merril Jessop, and bore 8 children with him in 15 years (he has over 50 children with 7 wives). She escaped the cult with her children after 15 years of 'marriage' with him and was the first polygamist cult wife to gain complete custody of their children. A very interesting read if you have any interest in the family dynamics of polygamist marriages and families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope75 Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 I finished it just a few days ago and it was a page turner right to the end. Turns out at the end her husband had over 11 wives and over 100 children. Just a really fascinating book. Hope you enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
