Phylicia Lennon

Phylicia LennonI read this memoir in less than a day—I was completely hooked. Ruth Wariner’s story is raw, emotional, and eye-opening. Getting a glimpse into the world of polygamy and the complexities of her family’s life within the Mormon religion was both fascinating and heartbreaking. What really pulled me in was Ruth’s perspective—seeing the world through her eyes as she navigated instability, poverty, and the emotional toll of her mother’s choices was deeply moving. Her strength and clarity, even as a young girl, made a lasting impression on me. I cried at a certain part (you'll see, no spoilers). That part broke me. But I also felt a sense of hope and relief for Ruth and her siblings in the end.

Phylicia LennonEye-opening. Society has finally arrived at the place where the children of these vloggers and families who exploit their kids can move the curtain and show us what it was like for them behind the cameras and without the veil of editing.
