Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall & Lisa Pulitzer Book Summary

In September 2007, a packed courtroom in St. George, Utah, sat hushed as Elissa Wall, the star witness against polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs, gave captivating testimony of how Jeffs forced her to marry her first cousin at age fourteen. This harrowing and vivid account proved to be the most compelling evidence against Jeffs, showing the harsh realities of this closed community and the lengths that Jeffs went to in order to control the women in it. Now, in this courageous memoir, Elissa Wall tells her incredible and inspirational story of her time in the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), detailing how she emerged from its confines to help bring one of America's most notorious criminals to justice.

Very empowering book!. This story is heartbreaking and exciting all at the same time. Great memoir!

Boring. Awfully written too many mundane details, hard to stay focused or want to read this . Waste of money

The best by far!!!!!!. I read this book when it first came out in 2009 after seeing her appear on the Ophra's show. Elissa was with her husband and one of her sister's. Their story is very moving and I still can't stop raving about it to people. This book is a must read!!!!!!!! I would for sure pick it up again to read for a second time...

Long and drawn out. Not well written

LovedIt.. I read this book on a recommendation from a friend and I couldn't put it down. I could not believe what went on and continues to go on within these communities and I am proud of Elissa for standing up for what her instincts were telling her were not right. I previously had no idea of what went on within these communities other than what I saw on the news from Zion Ranch. This was a fascinating and eye-opening read for me. Stay strong, Elissa!

Mostly lies. I went to school with Elissa Wall, she was always a Hollywood.

Fabulous book. This is a real eye opener. It is amazing what goes on in the cults of America. A very well written account - I couldn't put it down!! It plainly shows how badly Christianity can be twisted to endorse what is forbidden.

Stolen innoncence. Can't really write a review, only able to read sample, purchased and then it is forcing me to write review. Hoping this will allow me to read the book now that I paid for

God Bless You. My heart just broke into pieces when I read this book!!! U r a very strong woman!!! My prayers r with u and ur family!!!!

Could not put it down!. What an incredible story that I hope will give other girls in similar situations to know that they do have a choice for their future. Thank you for sharing your story with us, you are a true inspiration.

Amazing story of courage!!. I couldn't put this book down! It is addicting! What an amazing story of a sad brainwashed girl who found her inner courage and stood up for what she felt was right! What a fighter! It's depressing to read about how brainwashed these men, women and kids are in the FLDS cult. They women and kids are sooooo oppressed and beaten down emotionally that they are like robots who do as they are told, and taught not to ever question anything. What a sad existence to live like that. As a mom of a 13 year old girl I cannot even begin to wrap my brain around the thought of her being forced to be married to a stranger next year! I would absolutely die trying to stop anyone from raping or hurting my daughter! How can a mom (even a brainwashed one) not know down deep inside that a 14 shouldn't be forced to have sex and have babies. ??? This book will continue to haunt me....

Stolen Innoinse. This book,is aspecial look at what is happing even today, themyoung girls .Thanks to Essie walls and her sister for speaking out.They were right for getting the authorities involved.great going.

stolen innocence. this book was amazing. i could not put it down for three days. i cried with her till the end. a wonderfully brave woman.

Stolen Innocence. I found Elissa Wall's account of life within the FLDS shocking and eye-opening. Her harrowing account of life under the oppressive and evil rule of Warren Jeffs is both riveting and gut-wrenching. It is rewarding and gratifying to read along as Elissa, with her fighting determination, slowly gains her freedom - emotionally, mentally, and spiritually - from the horrors of the FLDC cult. And although her journey is sometimes heartbreaking, Elissa perseveres. It is exciting to follow her metamorphosis from frightened, timid, FLDS-engrained child, to strong, courageous, open-minded and defiant young woman. Ms. Wall's well- documented book may provide the needed encouragement for countless others who wish to extricate themselves from the grasp of power-hungry, narcissistic, evil cult leaders like Warren Jeffs or brain-washing religious cults like the FLDS.

Phenomenal. She is a fighter. A truly inspiring delivery of her horrendous upbringing.

Stolen innocence. What an amazing story of triumph! Thank you for sharing your most personal and intimate details. This must have been so difficult for you and all those involved. In my eyes I believe you and your sisters have changed the lives of many with your words of kindness. If we only had more people like you in this world! Thank you again.

Excellent Memoir. I couldn't put this book down. While I believe in freedom of religion, this book makes it clear that the FLDS is not just a religion, it is a cult. God gave us free will, but Elissa gives a clear portrayal of how members are basically brainwashed. Her memoir reveals how families are controlled by having no choice in who to marry. Even after a marriage, a family can be torn apart and a woman and her child reassigned to another husband at the whim of an elder thought to be God in the flesh--In this case, Warren Jeffs. I admire the strength and courage it took for Elissa to tell her story and stand up against the church. As a Christian, I'm glad she continues to find strength in God and using her life to help others still being controlled and abused in the name of religion. Must read for everyone wanting to know what really goes on in closed knit FLDS communities.

Good read. I enjoyed this book. I have read several on this subject . Couldn't put it down. Elissa is a very strong girl to have endured this . I wish you a wonderful life filled with joy,

Oldbat. Stunning, informative and up lifting

Exceptional. This book changed me-- and not just my view of the FLDS but for woman and children on a global scale. It is a page turner and a must-read!! Elissa Wall is a beautiful woman with an amazing story. I commend her for her honesty and her heart.

Amazing story. I grew up in the same church and have left myself. It is an amazing story and a good view from a female perspective growing up in a cult like that.

Kudos. What an eye opener. Written so clearly with fairness and love.

Wonderful book. If u have not read this book you need to. Elissa you are a strong women and I wish you the best and god bless you and thanks for sharing your story.

Very raw and real. Wow! What a great book! It was very sad knowing that this is someone's REAL LIFE story, but it's very intriguing to have a glimpse into the FLDS world. I love learning about different culture and religions and this book did a great job at showing you what else is out there. Ellisa Wall is a very strong woman and I truly admire her for sharing her painful story with the world.n

Informative, Emotional. A very informative book that gives us a detailed look into an ex FLDS member’s life, starting from childhood up until present. This was an easy read, with lots of well explained information and detailed scenes throughout. Really felt for the author, it was emotional reading about her journey to happiness and her thought process when choosing between faith and family.

Very interesting book. Really enjoyed finding out about FLDS something I didn’t know much about I wish she would write another one to find out what been happening from the last one

Stolen Innocence. Great book couldn't put it down......

Big yawn & waste of my time!. As sad and abhorrent as this story is it is one of the most drawn out boring books I've ever tried to read. It's like reading a child's diary that has nothing edited out, it just goes on and on and on. I don't know how it ends, I can guess, but I don't care.

Powerful. This book was very powerful and a great easy read. Couldn't put the book down!

Great Read. This book was a great easy read that tells a touching and empowering story. I love any insight into cult mentality and also love to read about other religions. This book satisfied me on both accounts. A sobering look at the FLDS world; somehow you know this book won't reach many in the FLDS community, but it should. I'd recommend it.

A must read!. A book I couldn't put down! Truly opened my eyes to the FLDS and the life this girl lived through.

Amazing. The most amazing book I've ever read. You won't regret buying this book. It's remarkable.
