Rose believed God would punish her for leaving her family in the polygamous Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. That punishment might have included, she feared, a car wreck.

“So when I stole the van,” Rose said, “I was driving 5 miles an hour, or something, down the road so I didn’t crash.”
Rose was 17. She didn’t know where to go. She eventually found help through relatives who previously had left the FLDS. If her younger siblings want to leave someday, she has a plan ready to assist them.
