This is a phenomenal memoir, everything about her story, I was gasping in horror every chapter with the things she endured. A must read.

When I started the book I was shocked, certainly remained shocked and moved to so much heartache and emotion as I learned the childhood of Ruthie and her siblings. I highly recommend reading it. To learn more about mormanism, the practice of polygamy, and to see the heartaches that accompany them.
