A harmless, unassuming caravan of women and children was ambushed
by masked gunmen in northern Mexico on 4 November 2019. In a
massacre that produced international headlines, nine people were
killed and five others gravely injured. The victims were members of
the La Mora and LeBaron communities-fundamentalist Mormons whose
forebears broke from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints and settled in Mexico when polygamy was outlawed. In The
Colony, the best-selling investigative journalist Sally Denton
picks up where initial reporting on the killings left off, and in
the process tells the violent history of the LeBaron clan and their
homestead, from the first polygamist emigration to Mexico in the
1880s to the LeBarons' internal blood feud in the 1970s to the
family's recent alliance with the NXIVM sex cult. Drawing on
sources within Colonia LeBaron itself, Denton creates a mesmerising
work of investigative journalism in the tradition of Under the
Banner of Heaven and Going Clear.
