Summary
"My father had more than 50 children."
So begins the haunting memoir of Anna LeBaron, daughter of the notorious polygamist and murderer Ervil LeBaron. With her father wanted by the FBI for killing anyone who tried to leave his cult - a radical branch of Mormonism - Anna and her siblings were constantly on the run with the other sister-wives. Often starving and always desperate, the children lived in terror. Even though there were dozens of them together, Anna always felt alone.
She escaped when she was 13 - but the nightmare was far from over.
A shocking true story of murder, fear, and betrayal, The Polygamist's Daughter is also the heart-cry of a fatherless girl and her search for love, faith, and a safe place to call home.

One cult to another
it was good, but she seemed to go from one cult to another with Bill Gothard and IFLB, they are a cult too, who encourage the abuse of children (see blanket training) and hiding of sexual abuse (see Bill Gothard and Josh Duggar). I can't recommend it more because of that.

Heartbreaking
A beautifully written account from an exceptionally strong woman. Thought provoking and an eye opener to the hidden conditions that those who suffer the same events.

Brilliant
This is so good , the insight to a controlling cult which leaves you wanting the writer to continue writing more secrets
I could honestly see a movie of this story .

I enjoyed the authenticity of this story. very well narrated by the author. A almost unbelievable story, but one of strength, survival and healing.

I wish the lady who wrote the book a beautiful life ♥️
Listened to it all in one day. Couldn’t put it down …. Terrifying to see how many of us have so much trauma from childhood .

A bit preachy but very interesting
Anna LeBaron’s story is horrific, and extremely interesting. Her memories of her childhood are insane, and it’s very interesting to hear first person from one of the LeBaron kids. However, it does descend into large sections of Christian preaching which I found rather hypocritical and irritating to listen to, but those devotions to Jesus and god are good indications of how Anna has been completely traumatised by her childhood. Overall a fair listen.
