Dude, I can't even.

Sam Brower is the LDS private investigator who helped build the case against FLDS leader Warren Jeffs. He doesn't write in a sensational or graphic style, but I could not put the book down, just based on the facts and accounts he laid out. Of course the worst of the offences is the rape of children and teenagers and continued sexual exploitation of women, who are seen as nothing more than baby-making machines who can be re-assigned to another man at the prophet's will. But there's also money laundering, kidnapping & human trafficking, welfare fraud, child labor, abandoned "Lost Boys," in-breeding & genetic mutations, lack of health care or education, families living in poverty, and local law enforcement who kept turning a blind eye.
