"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." Rebecca Kimbel, TV Producer and show host."Kristyn Decker is a courageous woman. Her stories 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." Ed Kociela, Author of Plygs.
