Church of Lies by Flora Jessop
4.0
dark emotional informative sad medium-paced

 This book is the personal account of Flora Jessop, who was born and raised into the FLDS cult. She born into a family that consisted of her abusive father, three moms, and twenty eight children. Just writing that overwhelms me! Her father sexually molested her, and then began raping her. She would be forced to marry a man of the leader's choosing. She had to submit to the will of her mothers and elders. At one point she tried to leave, and the police ignored her reports of abuse and returned her. It is disgusting how the systems that are in place to protect these kids fail so many of them. It is good to see that she committed herself to helping other people get out of the same situations.
