Born into the Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saint (FLDS) community of Bountiful, British Columbia, Jon Blackmore grew up believing that his church was the sole path to salvation, the only people destined to survive an impending apocalypse. But salvation required more than just faith. It also demanded perfect obedience to Gods chosen representatives on Earth-the churchs prophet and the local bishop. n nWielding absolute control over every aspect of their followers lives-spiritually, socially, and financially-Bishop Winston Blackmore, backed by Gods so-called prophet in the United States, ruled his followers with an iron fist. The people of Bountiful were driven into a life of near-enslavement, where refusal to comply with their leaders demands-which included surrendering children to forced labor or entering plural marriages-meant excommunication from the church and eternal damnation. n nThis memoir chronicles Jons journey from devout believer to conflicted follower to questioning skeptic as his leaders increasingly bold and outrageous antics cause his community and his church to unravel, putting the future of Jons own family in peril.
