WARNING- This story is based on real events and is dedicated to the men and women of Holding Out Help, an organization assisting those escaping from forced polygamy and abuse within the FLDS compounds. The first month's proceeds from this book will be donated to this organization in appreciation for all the information given during the process of this books research. All additional proceeds will be used to fund the next Breaking Chains project. Please note that the characters and the story are fictional, and any resemblance to actual persons is purely coincidental. *** Life or Death. The decision is made the moment Liberty steps foot outside of the gates of the compound and ducks the sentry's lights. She has a few hours before dawn to make it to the safety of the Nevada's border before the discovery of her absence. At that time, the vicious and merciless 'God Squad' will be sent to hunt her down and bring her back for a punishment worse than death. One of the FLDS cult's countless children forced into an abusive plural marriage to a man old enough to be her grandfather; Liberty knows that if she doesn't produce children, then she is certain to meet an 'unfortunate incident.' Having experienced the heinous treatment by those on the compound, she is more than willing to take the risk with the Outsiders and seek a new life free of pain and suffering. Rescue comes in the form of Jerrod Stockton and his younger brother, Justice who operate a Safe House program for runaways. They, along with Jerrod's wife, Robin give her a life and a family she never had-one filled with love and acceptance rather than malice and derision. Life with the Stockton family fills her with both joy and confusion. Liberty sees the truth of real, unconditional love, faith and the value of discipline yet still struggles with the indoctrinated beliefs that leave her feeling that she has no value or worth if she fails to blindly obey the edicts proclaimed from the incarcerated prophet's jail cell. She also discovers that her heart is open to the love of a man who has not been 'assigned' to be her husband. Can Justice bring freedom for Liberty by helping her accept herself as a woman? After a lifetime of indoctrination, is escape possible when it comes to the mind? Is she capable of breaking the chains of the past and reach her full potential as promised by her new family or will she be forever trapped in the chains of anger and emptiness?
