About this listen

She only wanted to be a mother to her own children - FLDS Cult leader had other plans.

Sarah was born in 1979 in the FLDS compound. At 18, Sarah entered into an arranged marriage to Richard S Allred who was the grandson and personal bodyguard to leader Rulon Jeffs, and later Warren Jeffs. Sarah was the first of five wives and was often used to set the example. Sarah's husband was given Warren's prized daughter as his third wife who became Warren's source to control Sarah's family.

As the Leadership adjusted, her world turned upside down. Rich was taken to a secret project to begin "Zion", and only those who are worthy could go. Rich came for her children, but Sarah was not worthy. She wasn't allowed to see or have contact with her children. Sarah came to realize Warren Jeffs was grooming her daughter to eventually become his wife. She wrote a letter, refusing to give permission. While traveling on a four-wheeler, the vehicle flipped and fell on her. She was in the hospital fighting for a month to survive told she would most likely be a paraplegic if she did survive.

A few months later, still trying to heal from the accident, Sarah was told God no longer had a use for her. Therefore Sarah was cast out, thrown into a world she was taught to abhor and fear from birth.

Almost unbelievable true story!

How the hell is this abominable, abusive cult not wiped from the earth??
I cannot for the life of me understand how it continues, all the while causing abuse on abuse of all the women and children. To have that evil, creepy human, Warren Jeffs as the prophet of God??? And even while he is in prison - STILL following him! Yuck!
I would have enjoyed the book more with a better narrator. Her sweet sickly voice was irritating to listen to.
I appreciate the author was brainwashed and abused by this cult, but her POOR children. She should have thought about them more and got them out waaaay before she was expelled.
How much have they suffered by her staying in such a hateful cult?

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
