Golden, chef's kiss

I've read Escape, Under the Banner of Heaven and a few others about fundamentalists and I have to say this one was the best for its detail and complete story of the fall out and raid on the Texas ranch. The story is heartbreaking, but also gives hope for the victims and some semblance of peace knowing that these cruel monsters went to prison. A wonderful, sad, and accurate account of this tragic sect of people.
