The Witness Wore Red: The 19th Wife Who Brought Polygamous Cult Leaders to Justice
Rebecca Musser and M. Bridget Cook • 2013
Devastation Rating
Our Take
Musser was the nineteenth wife of the FLDS prophet Rulon Jeffs, married at eighteen, and eventually escaped to testify against Warren Jeffs. She writes about a world sealed from outside reality by design — where obedience was spiritual currency and questioning was sin. The courage required to become a witness is documented in language as careful as legal testimony, which is itself a kind of testimony.
