I read this book thinking it would be a lot like Carolyn Jessop's book, Escape. Though I enjoyed them both, this one was not the same. Rebecca Musser has a more rounded approach including her life, the FLDS culture and the trials. This book really hit me. She went into a lot of depth about what men in the FLDS culture (Warren Jeffs specifically) did to women, and girls. She is not afraid to tell it how it was. She doesn't get vulgar, but you definitely know what's going on. I cried at points and at other points I was in awe of what she went through to protect her friends and family. She is very careful to talk about how those things were not the norm, but how it became more and more apparent that more men than she ever thought were involved. Overall an enthralling read if you're not afraid of a few tears.

I listened to this audiobook while at work and don’t regret it. 100% one of my niche interests so I was hooked.
