Breaking Free: How I Escaped Polygamy, the FLDS Cult, and My Father, Warren Jeffs by Rachel Jeffs

dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

 This book was written by Rachel Jeffs, a daughter of Warren Jeffs. Rachel details her experiences growing up in the FLDS cult. Rachel suffered so much at the hands of her father and other leaders in the FLDS. She was physically and emotionally abused, sexually assaulted, locked up as punishment for disobeying insane rules, and forced into an arranged marriage. She even had her children taken away. I cannot imagine having to live like this. I have read several books about the FLDS, and this was one of the most heartbreaking ones. I cannot imagine being treated the way Rachel was by my own father. The women and children in the FLDS seem to have absolutely horrific lives and experiences. I hope that people read books like this and it changes their hearts and minds to help people leave the FLDS if they are in a position to.
