Lost Boy

In this poignant memoir, former FLDS member Brent Jeffs shares his harrowing experiences growing up within the polygamous Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As the nephew of imprisoned leader Warren Jeffs, Brent reveals the stark contrast between the church's public facade and the darker realities of life within, particularly for young boys deemed expendable. After choosing to leave the sect, he became the first to file a sexual-abuse lawsuit against his uncle, and through his story, he highlights the challenges faced by "lost boys" grappling with exile and the hope that they can overcome trauma and rebuild their lives.
