I felt this book was well written from a victim of Warren Jeffs horrifying behavior. That the book was written by his own daughter, Rachel Jeffs, is even more significant. I hope that Rachel has been able to find a life free of the Church and has happiness with her children. Rachel was very brave to bring to light the evils that occurred in her life at the hands of her father and the "cult" mindset of the Church.

While I don’t necessarily recommend the audio, the book itself is great.
