I knew if Krakauer had anything to do with the book, it would be well-researched and well-written. Having already read Jon Krakauer’s book, Under the Banner of Heaven, I was intrigued when I saw that he had collaborated with author Sam Brower in writing the 2011 book Prophet’s Prey: My Seven-Year Investigation into Warren Jeffs and the Fundamentalist Church of Latter-day Saints. Other branches are located in Texas, Mexico, and Canada. They are separate entities, with the FLDS sect mainly operating in the twin cities of Hildale, Utah and Colorado City, Arizona. The mainstream Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) does not claim any kinship with the FLDS sect, which parted ways with the LDS church mainly over the issue of polygamy. My fascination with fundamentalist Mormonism comes from being married to an ex Mormon. I have been interested in reading about the Fundamentalist Church of Latter-day Saints (FLDS) for several years, even before the Yearning For Zion Ranch in Eldorado, Texas was raided in the spring of 2008. It was originally written for in November 2012 and appears here “as/is”. It’s yet another review of a book I enjoyed and don’t want to have to review again. Here’s a reposted exmo lit review for those who like that sort of thing. ![]()
