The Witness Wore Red: The 19th Wife Who Brought Polygamous Cult Leaders to Justice by Rebecca Musser

4.0

This is the fourth book written by a former member of the FLDS cult/church (church is probably too kind of term) that I've read. It's like a fascinating train wreck - horrible yet you just can't turn away. I gained some new insights into the YFZ Ranch raid, and Rebecca Musser was actually one of Rulon's wives, so there was new insights into the functioning of the higher echelon of the church. It's mind boggling that at one point there were more than 10,000 members of the FLDS, many of the under the dominion of that manipulative child-abuser, Warren Jeffs. That he still rules his church from behind bars is frightening yet not really surprising.
