Editorial Reviews

"Kristyn Decker shares the heartache, pain, and deprivation of polygamy with wisdom, compassion, and understanding for those who remain imprisoned by religious coercion. This book is a must read. Human rights cannot be preserved without understanding the methods by which those rights are lost."

TV Producer - Rebecca Kimbel

"Kristyn Decker is a courageous woman. Her stores are chilling and sometimes difficult to read, but important as she strives to educate a public that has no clue about the dangers inherent in this lifestyle."
