Wow - what an incredible story! Very well written memoir of growing up in the FLDS communities in Utah and Colorado. Elissa Wall was forced to marry her 1st cousin at age 14. This book is better than Escape by Carolyn Jessup in so many ways- though it's told mainly from the child's point of view whereas the Jessup book was told from the adult point of view. Elissa Wall also had more interaction and dealings with Warren Jeffs - and was the individual responsible for putting him in prison. This is a book that will affect you greatly, and one that you will have a hard time putting down.
