Escape by a woman who escaped polygamy. It resonated a little too much for comfort.

I've been really into books about personal experiences lately!
Book contests are my favorite! :)
There are many books like this that aren't even fiction. Most notably the one I've linked to below.
I am part of a whole group of people who are living what eddie is experiencing with his family.There's a subreddit for people like us. It's called r/exmormon.
The mormons are more normal in some ways and more strange in others when you compare them to meyerists. But watching this show and how eddie's departure has impacted the family dynamics is absolutely chilling with how similar it is.
When eddie asked "you don't really believe that" and sarah said "you don't even know me" or something I had such a physical reaction. because I know someone whose ex-wife said the exact same thing to him when he decided he was leaving the mormon church.

Edited to Add: one of the best books I've ever read on the FLDS cult.

I'll have to look that one up. I already bought and read a book by someone escaping from one of the more extreme Mormon sects (Escape by Carolyn Jessop) but this one should help too.
No, I know that, I mean didn't most of the FLDS crew move to the YFZ ranch in Eldorado...
But I was thinking specifically of the Jessops. Looked it up because I was curious. And the raid was in 2008.
Edit: That Krakauer book is really good... heart breaking at parts. Escape by Carolyn Jessop is also really really good.
