Unveiling Grace Podcast show

Summary: <p>Raised in a 4th generation polygamist family, polygamy was the only life Teresa knew. She had three moms and dozens of siblings. She watched as her older sisters got "turned over to Warren Jeffs, the Prophet," and he decided if he wanted to keep her or marry her off to someone else. To disagree or challenge the prophet was to disagree with God and lose any hope of salvation or eternal life. Warren Jeffs dictated clothing, food, housing, entertainment, and even who was worthy to be taught by him. This series is a fascinating and heartbreaking insider look at life under the control of Mormon cult leader Warren Jeffs, and how he ruled people's lives without even being present, perpetuating sexual abuse that bordered on slavery for many women, including girls in their early teens.</p>
