The Witness Wore Red: The 19th Wife Who Brought Polygamous Cult Leaders to Justice
Rebecca Musser and M. Bridget Cook • 2013
Devastation Rating
cult FLDS women memoir
Our Take
Musser was the nineteenth wife of the FLDS prophet Rulon Jeffs, married at eighteen, and eventually escaped to testify against Warren Jeffs. She writes about a world sealed from outside reality by design — where obedience was spiritual currency and questioning was sin. The courage required to become a witness is documented in language as careful as legal testimony, which is itself a kind of testimony.
