Summary of Elissa Wall & Lisa Pulitzer's Stolen Innocence

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was nine years old when my family got a third mother. I didn’t understand why everything had to be so different, but I knew that I had to keep sweet and not complain. We were God’s chosen people, and when Judgment Day came, we would be the only ones allowed into heaven. #2 The FLDS Church, which was the main religion my family followed, believed in polygamy. When my father got a third wife, he began to secure a place in the Celestial Kingdom for himself and his family. #3 My father’s second wife, Sharon, was expecting their second child. The family was excited, but under the surface, there was a lot of anxiety about how this would impact the already-volatile chemistry in our house. #4 The Law of Placement states that all marriages are decided by the prophet and based on a revelation that he receives from God. Everything the prophet proclaims is said to be the word of God, and thus if he directs a union, it is as if God commanded the union.
