Anna LeBaron grew up in a religious, polygamist cult. Before 12, she had experienced many middle-of-the-night, chaotic moves, inquiries by social services and law enforcement, had been dropped off in Mexico by her mother with strangers for a year, forced to sell rocks and slices of cake for money, dumpster dived for food and clothing, and a myriad of other incredibly oppressive and depressive things a child should not have to suffer.
