I didn’t know how to feel about the situation. None of us ladies knew he was getting married again, not even my sister wife Molly, whose own sister Susan was the new bride. That same month, November 2003, Rich came home with a surprise - he had a new wife. Jeffs was the third of Allred's four wives.
The pair married in 2002 when the bride was 18 and the groom 25. Rachel Jeffs and Richard Allred pose in this undated photo. I later learned that Father had found a property in Eldorado, Texas, a state where the age of consent for marriage was only 14 at the time. Father was to take all of his underage children to a special place in Texas that the Lord called a “land of refuge,” which was designated only for the more worthy of his people. In November of that same year, Father announced that the Lord had given him a new revelation. In the weeks that followed, I accompanied Mother to her chemo appointments, but it seemed like all the medicine did was make her get sicker and lose her hair. The doctor hadn’t just confirmed her diagnosis he’d told Mother that her condition was already terminal, and gave her six months to live.įather told her to have the chemotherapy anyway. No one in the family went to the doctor without Father’s permission. After the cancer had grown considerably, Father finally let her get it looked at by a doctor.
Mother told me that she had noticed the lump in her breast two years before, but Father told her not to worry about it. The jacket of “Breaking Free: How I Escaped Polygamy, the FLDS Cult and My Father, Warren Jeffs.” Photo courtesy HarperCollins Publishers.
