      abstract = {As the self-proclaimed prophet of the Fundamentalist  Latter Day Saints, a sect of Mormonism based in southern  Utah, Warren Jeffs held sway over thousands of followers  for nearly a decade. In addition to coercing young girls  into polygamous marriages with older men, Jeffs reputedly  took scores of wives himself. The media were shunned,  creating a hidden community where polygamy was prized above  all else. But in 2007, after a two-year FBI manhunt, Jeffs  was convicted as an accomplice to rape. Journalist Singular  traces Jeffs's rise to power and the concerted effort that  led to his downfall. It was a movement championed by law  enforcement, but more vocally by a group of former wives  seeking to liberate young women from the arranged marriages  they'd once endured. The book offers new revelations into a  nearly impenetrable enclave--a place of inbreeding and  eerie seclusion, and a tradition almost a century  old.--From publisher description.},
