Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall


Stolen Innocence is an incredible, honest and heart breaking personal story told be Elissa Wall.

It goes into great detail about her life in FLDS and her fight to break free from it despite dire consequences such as losing her much beloved family and her "ticked to heaven."

Elissa's autobiography chronicles her abuse, both sexually and emotionally at the hands of her husband and those who were suppose to protect her.

She gives you an eye opening account of what goes on in the FLDS community. You will become emotionally involved, outraged and disgusted. Her writing appears to be that of a young girl, giving you more of an idea how this young woman's life has been traumatized.

Elissa's courage will give you hope, that you too can overcome obstacles in your life ,whether they are minor or large.
