Charlotte Singer Swapp's compelling story begins with growing up in an independent fundamentalist Mormon family whose lives were shattered by the tragic murder of her father. Her husband Addam later took upon himself the task of defending the family, and this eventually escalated to violence, a highly-publicized FBI seige, and her husband's subsequent imprisonment. Throughout many dark days, months, and years, the Lord led Charlotte, a firmly committed Mormon Fundamentalist, on a journey to Himself.
