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.

bit disappointed to be honest. I'm glad it was included cause I'd of been annoyed if I payed. sorry you had to you through what you did growing up. but from the summary of your story I thought it would of been more interesting that in was. I got 2 hours left and I'm gonna finish it. but yeah. not as interesting as I thought. its basically you just moving around doing child labour and. very boring to me sorry

Great listen

I enjoyed the authenticity of this story. very well narrated by the author. A almost unbelievable story, but one of strength, survival and healing.

I wish the lady who wrote the book a beautiful life ♥️

Listened to it all in one day. Couldn’t put it down …. Terrifying to see how many of us have so much trauma from childhood .

One cult to another

it was good, but she seemed to go from one cult to another with Bill Gothard and IFLB, they are a cult too, who encourage the abuse of children (see blanket training) and hiding of sexual abuse (see Bill Gothard and Josh Duggar). I can't recommend it more because of that.

Heartbreaking

A beautifully written account from an exceptionally strong woman. Thought provoking and an eye opener to the hidden conditions that those who suffer the same events.

Brilliant

This is so good , the insight to a controlling cult which leaves you wanting the writer to continue writing more secrets
I could honestly see a movie of this story .

Wow, it sounded like a very difficult life

Such an interesting read, as a person who safeguards children I found it hard to understand how any woman can believe a man like Ervil. I hope this doesn't offend you Anna. The book is so well written & read. I am so sad for those who died at the hands of this so call religious group. I am Christian & love my Church family. But that's it. I read up on your family, I am left haunted by those never found. I must be a bit of a femenist now as a glad I don't need a man in my life. God bless you & you children. Be happy.
