Lost Boy, by Brent W. Jeffs

Lost Boy, by Brent W. Jeffs, with Maia Szalavitz.  I've been touching on the topic of what happens to the young men when older men in polygamist groups marry all the young girls.  This book covers that quite well.  The author is the nephew of Warren Jeffs, who has been sent to prison after his 2007 trial.  The power and control the leaders of these groups have, to reassign wives and children to other men, to gain monetarily, to control all aspects of lives, is unbelievable.  This is a biography, not fiction.  For those of you who have been following my posts, I'm leaving this topic for now.  Depending on the election results, I may have to return.  8 out of 10.  Highly recommended.
