Describing the trial, Wall takes shots at Jeffs' defense team and her ex-husband, whom she said "failed in his attempts to save the prophet."
Jeffs is serving two 5-to-life sentences. He is currently in an Arizona jail where he is awaiting trial on charges of sexual misconduct and incest, accused of performing more child-bride marriages. Wall is a witness in one of those cases.
Steed is currently facing a rape charge in St. George's 5th District Court.
Wall has since traveled to Texas and offered assistance to Texas authorities in the raid on the YFZ Ranch.
"It was clear that this investigation was not about religion. It was about child abuse, sanctioned and directed by the FLDS men in authority," Wall wrote in the epilogue of her new book. "As hard as it has been to watch the events of Eldorado unfold, they prove that there are still so many young girls who don't realize yet that they, too, have the right to cry out against injustice."
Wall writes that she wants to set up a fund for women and girls who leave the FLDS sect.
"It is my intention to use proceeds from that lawsuit, a portion of my profits from this book, and donations to start and operate the MJ Fund," she wrote.
