challenging dark emotional hopeful tense medium-paced

4.0

I was riveted by this book from the very first page. The things Carolyn had to go through are unthinkable. It makes me really value my freedom. Carolyn paints a vivid picture of the gradually decline of the FLDS cult. I listened to the audiobook, and the author breathed so much emotion into Carolyn's story.
