Publisher's 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.

Unique cult story

It’s hard to believe someone lived this experience as a child growing up. I feel for the author and I’m impressed with her strength to not only escape but also address her trauma. We need a follow up novel on how her life is now doing. This was a story unlike others I’ve read, and I’ve read a lot. It was pretty awesome I could read this free with my Amazon account.

My fist intro into polygamy.

Interesting story. Some parts drew me in and others not so much. I didn’t know much about that lifestyle and so this is a good intro to a child being born into polygamy.

Wow!

I’ve listened to a lot of audio books and this one left an impression few have. Incredibly powerful and thought provoking. It takes courage to write something like this.

I enjoyed this reading

i see this book as being seen through the eyes of a child and having to grow up with the troubles and damage done by adults who force their beliefs on their children. the struggles she had to go through to rebuild her life and overcome the fear she had. I truly enjoyed how Anna found faith in something to redirected life. It's a great life story of healing.
