Non-fiction work about the history of the FLDS (Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints).
I continue on my FLDS theme with this work of non-fiction tracing the history of the mormon church, and then specifically the fundamentalist break-away (which basically happened over the practice of polygamy).
I found this book fascinating and it really helped to link and clarify the other personal stories I've been reading about women who escaped their lives in these communities.
It is dark in places, but I think that is simply the truth of the history of this group, like so many other religions and particularly religious zealots.....
High marks from me, but perhaps only due to all my other recent reading? 8.5/10
