In his book "Texas Raid," Ammon Jeffs shares his life story growing up in the FLDS as one of the many sons of the notorious leader, Warren Jeffs.
He talks about the happy times, the tough times, and the struggles he faced while living isolated from the world. Ammon was dedicated to the church from his youth.
In July 2004, he was called by Warren Jeffs to assist in building a new "place of refuge" near Eldorado, Texas. His mother died after a long battle of breast cancer the day he arrived there.
At 14, he toiled relentlessly day and night, building up the community, working brutally long shifts with his coworkers. Then came the raid. His story captivates the experience of the boys from the YFZ ranch in that traumatic ordeal.
This book is the story of a survivor. His story of leaving the FLDS Church will bring the reader joy as he overcomes the hardships imposed by the leader of the FLDS cult and finds the love of his life.
