A few pointers to speed things up

If you’re a reader

Notes about your reading experience, questions about the story, or letters about your own life — those mean a lot to Betsy and Brenda, and every one gets read. Please be patient on reply times; we’re two people.

If you’re a journalist, reviewer, or podcast host

Please include your outlet, deadline, and preferred conversation format (written Q&A, phone, or video). We’re glad to talk about the book, the collaboration, and the broader story of leaving high-control religious communities.

If you’re contacting us about the book’s subject matter

Whether you grew up inside the FLDS community, are leaving one now, or work with people who have — we’re happy to hear from you. We can’t offer professional advice or resources ourselves, but we can listen. See the Author’s Note for the organizations we point people toward.

If you have a legal or privacy request

DMCA takedowns, privacy requests under CCPA/GDPR, and other legal matters should be sent to the same email. Please put LEGAL or PRIVACY in the subject line. See our DMCA policy and Privacy Policy for procedures.
