This book is a fictional account of a girl living inside a FLDS (Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints) compound. Many of the details are based on true events and will really shock the reader such as actually "waterboarding" a baby so that it will not cry. Life inside the church is not easy and disobedience is not tolerated. This book really sets up the problems and has a dramatic conclusion. That the girl in the book is brave enough to challenge the system will keep the reader turning the pages. (Now, I am reading a book on the actual group whose leader was prosecuted in 2008 or 2009 for child abuse and child sexual abuse due to wildly underage marriages to older men.) Two thumbs up.
