Since Ive met my cousin Anna, shes been a force of inspiration. Reading her memoir, I now fully understand why. Annas childhood struggles couldve been anyones, and were certainly similar to my own, but her brave and passionate spirit shines as a bright reminder that no matter what happens in our lives, what lies within us is stronger and more powerful than our circumstances.
RUTH WARINER
Bestselling author of The Sound of Gravel
Annas personal story is riveting, captivating, and heart wrenching all at once. You will be startled by this true-life tale and also amazed at the profound ways Anna brings comfort and strength to so many journeying with her. You will be mesmerized by this book and deeply touched by her ability to mount up above her challenging life. Great job, Anna!
SALLY CLARKSON
Author of Own Your Life and cofounder of Whole Heart Ministries
The Polygamists Daughter reads like a taut suspense novel, only Annas story is terrifyingly real. I rooted for Anna, experiencing her unstable, uprooted, crime-laden childhood alongside her. This memoir reminds us all that no one is beyond the reach of Jesus, and He loves to pursue the broken in broken places.
MARY DEMUTH
Author of Thin Places: A Memoir
The Polygamists Daughter is a heart-wrenching account of my niece Annas extreme neglect, fear, and abuse inflicted by the very ones meant to protect her. Readers will be astonished by her powerful testimony of surviving danger and terror while growing up in the cult of her infamous father, Ervil LeBaron. This account of Annas resilient spirit, strength, and courage brings hope to others many of whom, through fear, have remained silent for too long!
IRENE SPENCER
Author of New York Times bestseller Shattered Dreams: My Life as a Polygamists Wife and Cult Insanity: A Memoir of Polygamy, Prophets, and Blood Atonement
The Polygamists Daughter is a crazy read, full of things almost unimaginable in this day and age. And yet its real, and Anna LeBaron went through it. The Polygamists Daughter is a riveting narrative, but even more, its a story of redemption. Read it for the ride, but settle in for the hope.
SARAH MAE
Author of Longing for Paris
As remembered through the eyes of a child, certain aspects of The Polygamists Daughter seem at times more like adventure than inhumane living situations. You will be captivated as Anna LeBarons life circumstances weigh heavier and heavier upon her, culminating in the brave decision to escape from the grip of a horrific family situation. Carrying insurmountable grief, she eventually finds peace and wholeness in Jesus. Anna has woven a tragic yet redemptive telling of her childhood that will leave you wrought with holy emotions right up until the last page.

To my brothers and sisters
all the sons and daughters of Ervil LeBaron.
Ill never get tired of rehashing our stories.
Its the best therapy.
The stories yet to be lived and told will be the best of all.
T HIS MEMOIR WAS written from memory, with many details corroborated by close family members. Some names have been changed for the privacy of the individuals; some scenes have been recreated to the best of my ability; and some of the events described have been compressed for brevity. Various details not known to me at the time of the events have been added to the story to give context to the reader.
Except in certain circumstances when the words were seared in my mind, the dialogue is not verbatim. It is, however, in keeping with the spirit of the events surrounding them. The same is true of the people. I describe them to the best of my recollection, based on my age at the time these events occurred, our circumstances and experiences, and my impressions of them at the time.
I also want to make it clear that my father took the basic tenets of Joseph Smiths teachings, including polygamy, that had been practiced for generations in my family and radically twisted them. My father promoted an extremism that shattered so many lives. The modern-day LDS Mormon church officially disavowed polygamy in 1890.
Within these pages, I tell my story. I hope one day the others involved will tell their own.
W E ALWAYS MEET people somewhere in the middle of their stories. I met Anna LeBaron somewhere around chapter 34 of the book you are holding, and I had no idea of the unfolding story that I would become a part of.
Her narrative begins with At age nine, I had forty-nine siblings, and ends with He knows my name. He knows my story. And He has set me free. What happens in between is a shocking and powerful account of a young woman becoming herself, while others wanted her to be anything but herself.
Starting as someone who was just one among scores of siblings, Anna has emerged as a one-of-a-kind human being. For someone who was surrounded by demands to obey, comply, serve, and disappear, Anna has done an amazing job of showing up. If you were to meet her now you would be taken by her kindness and her generosity, by her smile and her positivity. And you would never guess the specifics that you are about to read.
