Stolen Innocence: My Story of Growing Up in a Polygamous Sect

Wall was forced to marry her nineteen-year-old cousin when she was fourteen and later became the key witness in Warren Jeffs' prosecution. Her account of life in the FLDS — the doctrine of obedience, the erasure of girlhood, the marriages made by the prophet without consent — is told with the directness of someone who has learned that euphemism protects perpetrators. It does not protect the reader either.
