In The Polygamist's Daughter, Anna LeBaron tells her story of growing up in a violent polygamist cult. Ms. LeBaron was one of many children from her father's multiple sister-wives, and reading about her childhood will give you chills. She draws you in with a harrowing tale of middle-of-the-night moves, abuse at the hands of authority figures, hits put out on family members by other family members, and things that boggle the mind when you think that they REALLY happened.

But her story is not just one of horror and grief and suffering. It is one of salvation, of redemption, of freedom. This is a book well worth the time you'll invest in reading it, and once you start, you may not want to put it down until you're done.

I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. All opinions voiced here are my own, and I don't say nice things about books I don't read and enjoy.
