Download Breaking Free: How I Escaped Polygamy, the FLDS Cult, and My Father, Warren Jeffs AudioBook Free
With this searing memoir of success in the nature of Stolen Innocence, the little princess of Warren Jeffs, the self-proclaimed Prophet of the FLDS Cathedral, takes you profound inside the secretive polygamist Mormon fundamentalist cult run by her family and how she escaped it. Born in to the Fundamentalist Cathedral of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Rachel Jeffs was raised in a rigorous patriarchal culture identified by subordinate sister wives and men they must obey. Nobody in this radical splinter sect of the Mormon Cathedral was better or terrifying than its innovator, Warren Jeffs - Rachel's dad. Living outside mainstream Mormonism and federal law, Jeffs arranged relationships between underage girls and middle-aged and older people of his congregation. In 2006 he gained international notoriety when the FBI placed him on its 10 Most Wanted List. Though he is serving a life phrase for child sexual assault, Jeffs' iron grasp on the church remains company and his edicts to his supporters increasingly restrictive and bizarre. In Breaking Free, Rachel blows the lid off this taciturn community made famous by John Krakauer's best-selling Under the Banner of Heaven to offer a harrowing take a look at her life with Warren Jeffs and the years of physical and emotional abuse she experienced. Sexually assaulted, compelled into an arranged polygamous matrimony, locked away in "houses of hiding" as punishment for recognized transgressions, and actually separated from her children, Rachel, Jeffs' first plural little princess by his second of more than 50 wives, eventually found the courage to leave the church in 2015. But Breaking Free isn't just her report - Rachel's activities illuminate those of her family and the countless others who remain caught in the bizarre world she left out. A shocking and mesmerizing memoir of faith, misuse, courage, and flexibility, Breaking Free is an exposé of religious extremism and a beacon of hope for anyone wanting to overcome personal road blocks. Rachel Jeffs grew up in the Fundamentalist Cathedral of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the polygamous Mormon sect, which she escaped in 2015. Rachel lives in Idaho with her five children and two puppies.
