I love FLDS memoirs, and I am fascinated by the LeBaron family. But this extremely drawn-book is weighed down by minute details of cleaning out second-hand appliances for resale, for example. Plus, the author narrates the book, and she has a very young voice, and it was disconcerting to feel as if a child was telling me this story of crime and abuse (and selling used appliances). I just had to stop.
I wish there was more to this book. Maybe that means I'm jaded? I felt like there was less content here that was new or refreshing or informative than I expected. There was a stint of about 5 chapters where I felt really engaged.
The way she tells this story is like slowly revealing a series of horrible events, but there is still hope in it. I don't think I would be able to read this if it wasn't for that hope.
