Warren Jeffs is a vile creature. It is amazing to me how he connived and manipulated himself into power, and it is amazing to me how so many people follow along with his rules and behavior. It is so tragic and disgusting that so many young girls (and boys) were abused by this man and it was ignored and covered up. A lot of the leaders, and men in general, are abusive to their wives and children in various ways. It's horrible. Elissa and her family that supported her are brave people. It takes courage to go against your family and friends and church. It takes courage to leave everything you know and seek justice for yourself. I think everyone should read this book and realize that there should be more kindness and willingness to help people in the world. What a tragic life for so many people that are involved in this religion.
