This book offers an informative and well organized tour of the FLDS cult, their crimes, and the spread of their influence and power. It is disgusting and horrific, and I feel so bad for all those abused by the systemically inforced distribution and rape of young girls, for the belief that bigamy/pleural marriage is the only way to a man's salvation. The rampant pedophilia and sadism of this cult necessitates systematic dismantling. Their leader's severe mental illness is new information to me, but that doesn't negate the horror he's done. It just exacerbates my disgust at his continued ability to lead his congregation, as allowed by the US government, the for profit prison system, and child protective agencies more concerned with their self image than helping endangered children.
