BOOK SYNOPSIS
Dr. Carole Western went undercover in "hostile FLDS territory", fearing any minute; someone may reveal her cover, exposing her and the mission while jeopardizing her personal safety. This pluralistic religious cult is considered to be silent and ruthless to outsiders gathering information on their lifestyle. This is just part of the pressure and anxiety that Dr.Western endured while researching and documenting the facts in this book. This book not only covers the here and now of the FLDS religion (Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints), but other Polygamist cults across America. This book can be considered the encyclopedia of the Polygamist lifestyle.Dr. Western's intent and motivation in writing this book was to expose the dark side of Polygamy, brutal incest, institutionalized child-abuse and enslavement of brain-washed young women with no hope of a future. Polygamist girls are forced to marry the elders of the cult (while still as children or in their early teens). If the young bride has a male child, he may face the agony of being banished from his family when he reaches his early teens, which leaves him undereducated with no higher than a sixth-grade education and alone, to find a means of survival in his new alien world. He will never be allowed to return or contact any members of his family again.This is a book written to make a statement for children who cannot speak for themselves and it puts their lives in perspective; in the hopes they will realize they are not alone, and help is available.Not overlooked, are the stories of the older women, past childbearing age, who, because they are not the First Wife, are discarded like useless trash in what would have been considered their golden years in normal society.The State of Utah prosecution team, including the State Attorney of Utah, requested and was provided portions of her investigative notes, interviews and facts uncovered, as part of their strategy in formulating an indictment against Warren Jeffs. Due to submission of her manuscript to this publication house and subsequent promotional activities, Dr. Western continues to receive personal death threats; from people eager to suppress many of the facts related in this book. For her safety, she disconnected her land phone line and moved to another home in a more secluded location.Dr. Western obtained her MBA from Bedford University in England and her PhD in Philosophy in creative writing two years afterward. She has authored 15 books and spoken at private and civic functions from coast to coast. She has taught English at Dixie State College located in St. George, Utah for three years.
