About this listen

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 Saints, 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 devastating 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.

Really liked the first part but the end felt like he was trying to convert me to Christianity.

Preachy

The narrator didn’t know how to pronounce many of the mormon words. It was weird. The book is literally a storytelling. There’s very minimal dialogue, there’s plenty of interesting facts about Mormon polygamy.

How did they allow for this narrator?

Touching example of God’s saving grace and the raw struggle, yet freedom, which comes in and through forgiveness. Thanks for sharing in vivid detail. As a Christian, I found this very helpful in relating to the otherwise secret and closed nature of those trapped in the Mormon ways.

Transparent, moving and insightful!
