Description

Property: The True Story of a Polygamous Church Wife is a powerful and deeply personal memoir that recounts Carol Christie's nearly four decades living within a controlling polygamous religious sect. As a sheltered teenager in the early 1970s, Carol was separated from her family and drawn into a life marked by manipulation, abuse, and strict control under the authority of a self-proclaimed prophet.

With honesty and courage, Carol describes the realities faced by women in the group, including emotional and physical abuse, isolation, forced labor, and relentless indoctrination. She also reflects on the challenges of escaping after almost 40 years and beginning a new life in a world she barely knew.

Set in part near Owen Sound, this compelling true story sheds light on the dangers of coercive groups and the resilience of those who break free from them. Both heartbreaking and inspiring, Property is ultimately a story of survival, courage, personal freedom, and hope for a better future.
