Rachel Jeffs is an American Author for escaping the Patriarchal conditions in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and has offered her account of Sexual abuse she got from her father, Warren Jeffs. ^[1]

Rachel was born and lives in a place between the state of Arizona and Utah called Colorado City. The mountainous area is where the cult, Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, is located and it is where she grew up for most of her life. Her father is incarcerated leader of FLDS Warren Jeffs. Rachel is Jeffs’ first plural daughter by his second of more than fifty wives. During her life in the cult, Rachel has gone on record saying she was sexually abused by her father since she was 8 years old.

For most of her life, Rachel lived in a strict patriarchal culture defined by subordinate sister wives and men they must obey.

The sect resides outside of mainstream Mormonism and Federal law and although Jeffs is put away for life, he remains to be its most

prominent leader, continuing to issue orders behind bars.

In 2015, four years after her father was convicted to life in prison, Rachel left the cult.

Since then she has been outspoken about the Sexual abuse treatment of her fellow step and blood sisters.

Jeffs arranged marriages between under-age girls and middle-aged and elderly members of his congregation.

In 2006, he gained international notoriety when the FBI placed him on its Ten Most Wanted List.

Though he is serving a life sentence for child sexual assault, Jeffs’ iron grip on the church remains firm, and his edicts to his followers increasingly restrictive and bizarre.

On November 14th, 2017, Rachel's book, Breaking Free: How I Escaped Polygamy, the FLDS Cult, and My Father, Warren Jeff, was released. The memoir tells the story of her upbringing and survival as she takes readers deep inside the secretive polygamist Mormon fundamentalist cult run by her family and how she escaped it.

Rachel discloses with careful details about the antisocial community who was influenced by John Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven . She gives readers a chilling description of her life under the rule of her father, Warren Jeffs, and the years of physical and emotional abuse. She gives an account of the sexual abuse she endured and the arranged polygamous marriages that she witnessed and was also forced into. In the book she also writes about how she was also locked away into "House of Hiding" as retribution for her violations in the cult. She was also physically separated from her children.

She also illuminates the experiences of those of her family and the countless others who remain trapped in the strange world she left behind.

Rachel lives in Idaho with her five children and two dogs.
