Stolen Innocence: My Story of Growing Up in a Polygamous Sect, Becoming a Teenage Bride, and Breaking Free of Warren Jeffs
by Elissa Wall
Description
This powerful memoir recounts a young woman's harrowing journey from the confines of a polygamous sect to freedom. Forced into marriage as a child bride within the strictures of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the author details the profound psychological and emotional control exerted by its leader. Her courageous decision to speak out and testify against him became a pivotal moment, not only for her own liberation but for exposing the harsh realities of life within the sect. This is a story of resilience, the fight for self-determination, and the enduring strength of the human spirit against overwhelming odds.
