In this courageous memoir, Elissa Wall, the star witness against
polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs, tells her inspirational story
of how she emerged from the confines of the Fundamentalist Church
of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) and helped bring one of America's most
notorious criminals to justice.
Detailing how Jeffs's influence over the church twisted its
already rigid beliefs in dangerous new directions, Wall portrays
the inescapable mind-set which forced her to wed her first cousin
at age fourteen, pressured her to follow Jeffs's directives, and,
once she married, encouraged her to submit to her husband in "mind,
body, and soul." For over three years she suffered at the hands of
her husband, until one snowy night when a chance encounter with a
stranger set in motion a friendship that eventually gave her the
strength to break free of the church and come forward against
Jeffs, so that girls still inside might be spared her cruel
fate.
More than a tale of survival and freedom, "Stolen Innocence" is
the story of one heroic woman who stood up for what was right and
reclaimed her life.
