About this book

Ruth Wariner grows up in a poor, isolated polygamist community in rural Mexico, where her family’s faith and fierce loyalty are intertwined with neglect, danger, and silence. As the oldest daughter, she becomes increasingly responsible for protecting her younger siblings while trying to understand the adults who have failed them. Told with striking clarity and compassion, this memoir traces Wariner’s difficult journey toward education, independence, and a life beyond the only world she has known. It is painful but not hopeless, with an intimate voice and a hard-won sense of resilience.
