I think everyone needs to hear this story. I am so greatful to hear the Audible version as well as have the hard copy because hearing Kate speak those words was simply amazing. Hearing Kate speak words I've only ever said in my head and have someone else say it too made me feel not alone. I've been following Kate for years before my own son was diagnosed with Autism. she helped me through the first year and here we are year 2 in our Autism journey and this book comes out. what a blessing it & Kate, Cooper and their Family have been to me and my son.

"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.

This book is simply amazing and you will not be disappointed. A must read for all. If you are a history or true crime fanatic like me you will love Anna's story of her true life events. Anna is strong resilient and so brave for sharing her story. Anna tells her story in a way that you can picture yourself watching a movie of her life. I downloaded the book on Audible after finding Anna on TikTok and got a hard copy of the book. While I love the hard copy I love hearing Anna's voice telling her story through Audible. I left the book satisfied but wanting more from her. I can not wait for any future writings she has in the future!
