Stolen Innocence LP

"Both creepy...and quite moving."

--New York Times Book Review

"Wall's story couldn't be more timely."

--People

Stolen Innocence is the gripping New York Times bestselling memoir of Elissa Wall, the courageous former member of Utah's infamous FLDS polygamist sect whose powerful courtroom testimony helped convict controversial sect leader Warren Jeffs in September 2007. At once shocking, heartbreaking, and inspiring, Wall's story of subjugation and survival exposes the darkness at the root of this rebel offshoot of the Mormon faith.

Her testimony put a prophet in prison. This is the true story of her fight for freedom.

• A Teenage Bride: At just fourteen years old, Elissa was forced by the prophet into a "celestial marriage" with her own first cousin, a man she loathed.
• Growing Up in a Cult: A gripping, firsthand account of life inside the FLDS, where girls are taught to 'keep sweet, ' wear pioneer dresses, and obey without question.
• The Fight for Justice: Discover the incredible courage it took for Elissa to stand up, break her silence, and deliver the powerful courtroom testimony that helped convict Warren Jeffs.
• An Inspiring Survival Story: A shocking but ultimately hopeful memoir about escaping subjugation, reclaiming her life, and finding the strength to speak truth to power.
