Breaking Free: How I Escaped Polygamy, the FLDS Cult, and My Father, Warren Jeffs (by Rachel Jeffs)
Trying to hit the ground running on the RHC, so I also finished this book for the category "a book about a cult." And wow.
I can't believe Warren Jeffs is still alive and probably still perpetuating this horrible situation (he was giving directives from inside prison right up until Rachel Jeffs left). There's the multiple wives and child brides, yes, but also everyone in this "church" is being horribly abused. Rachel Jeffs was molested by her father and she discusses that, and how it impacted her relationship with the church, but makes sure to state at the outset she's not a victim.
I'm happy she got out with her kids and seems to be living her best life. I hope that is the outcome for every person, especially girls and women, trapped in this cult.
