Non-Fiction Memoir
A RIVETING MEMOIR OF LIFE INSIDE ONE OF NORTH AMERICA’S MOST
NOTORIOUS POLYGAMOUS CULTS She had no choice in the matter—none of the girls did. Her
mission was to give birth to and raise many children in
devoted service to a shared husband. Susan was fifteen years
old when she became the sixth wife of Verlan LeBaron, one of
the leaders of a rogue Mormon cult, who was engaged in a
blood feud with his brother that from 1972 to 1988 claimed
up to two dozen lives. In this gripping and eloquent book, Susan Ray Schmidt tells
the story of growing up on the inside and of her ultimate
escape with her children from an oppressive and violent
life. Delving more deeply into this mysterious underworld
than any previous work, Favorite Wife is a powerful account
of the affairs of the heart, coming of age under exceptional
circumstances, and the tough choices that are sometimes
painfully necessary to preserve human dignity.
