Lost Boy by Brent W. Jeffs

4.0

Many of us know the stories of how women and girls are abused in the FLDS (Fundamentalist Latter-Days Saints) church, a secretive, closed society that practices polygamy. This book takes a look at one boy (and by extension, his family) and the abuse that they suffer. Note the name of the author. He is the nephew of Warren Jeffs, prophet of the FDLS church, who is currently incarcerated for abuse of children. This is a look from the inside of how the combination of concentration of power and isolation from society create fear and damage lives. This brave young man got out and is making it in the outside world, but only with support, therapy and a strong determination not to let his negative experiences ruin his life.
