Description

(From back cover.) "The shocking news of polygamous cults has sparked a national dialogue on religious sects. Splintered from and repudiated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Sainsts, these secretive families exist in an insular world far removed from reality.

"Yet for Brian Mackert, life inside this world was all too real. As a son in a family of one father, four mothers, and thirty-one children, Brian experienced firsthand the devasting reality of the polygamous lifestyle: a reality that leaves thousands of children feeling hopeless and struggling to belong.

"Now Brian shares his remarkable journey from a broken life to a healed soul."
