Former child bride Elissa Wall speaks out in striking detail about the trauma she experienced at the hands of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints (FDLS) in this sprawling, tell-all memoir culminating in the notorious Warren Jeffs trial. Stifled by the church's strict rules, immersed in FDLS culture at home and in school, Wall had little choice when church elder Warren Jeffs pronounced that she must marry her much-hated first cousin. At the age of 14, she entered into a loveless, abusive marriage with little chance of escape. But a chance meeting with another church member during a crisis put Wall on the path to escaping the claustrophobic confines of her painful, tumultuous life. The disturbing intricacies of the FDLS, families in conflict and distress, and a charismatic, controlling leader are just a few of the pieces of Elissa Wall's story.
