Adele's Review of Stolen Innocence: The Jan Broberg Story
The first thing you should know in reading my review of Stolen Innocence: The Jan Broberg Story by Mary Ann Broberg is that I have a personal connection http://www.amazon.com/Stolen-Innocence-The-Broberg-Story/dp/0974515205 I had the honor of hiring Jan Broberg, an amazingly talented actress, to perform in an experimental audio book I produced many years ago. Despite the fact that Jan had been kidnapped twice as a child and abused by an adult male from her Church for many years, she grew into an amazingly beautiful, talented and well balanced individual. I enjoyed working with Jan immensely and would continue to hire her except she is living in Hollywood where she in enjoying a successful acting career. One of the projects Jan is working on now is a film adaptation of the book her mother wrote about the kidnapping https://www.facebook.com/stoleninnocencedocumentary No story about the abuse of a child is easy to read, but Stolen Innocence was especially t
Quirky Polygamist -- Monogamy Sucks!
I have long been aware of motivational speaker, Tony Robbins, but for some reason never listened to any of his lectures until just recently https://www.tonyrobbins.com/ I listened to Unleash the Power Within by Tony Robbins as an audio book and must say I was very impressed http://www.amazon.com/Unleash-Power-Within-Personal-Transform/dp/1442352663/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1429796673&sr=1-1&keywords=unleash+the+power+within Robbins has a gravely voice, but his enthusiasm, charm and sense of humor make him totally relatable and likeable. It isn't hard to understand why millions of people tune in to Robbins for advice on how to become motivated, excited about life and able to meet great challenges. Unleash the Power Within is designed to help people help themselves. My take away was that in order to make a change, we need to first decide to change. Robbins' points out that thinking we should change for the better do

The Witness Wore Red by Rebecca Musser
Those who watched the trial of polygamist cult leader, Warren Jeffs, are probably familiar with Rebecca Musser, one of the key witnesses. I recently read an account of Musser's role in the trial in the national bestseller, The Witness Wore Red, penned by Musser herself. http://www.amazon.com/The-Witness-Wore-Red-Polygamous/dp/1455527831 I live about 40 miles from the "twin" cities of Hilldale, Utah, and Colorado City, Arizona. I see polygamist women in their prairie dresses on daily basis, wondering what things must be like in their secretive enclave. In Musser's book, the curtains are ripped open on this lifestyle, revealing a disturbing look at a community that marries off girls as young as twelve to much older men, many of whom are their relatives. Even more horrifying, several of these young girls were raped in front of adult men and women from the cult. During the trial of Warren Jeffs, the jury was able to listen to audio recordings of these crimes, so
