Under Jeffs, many have been kicked out of the FLDS faith and their families split apart — leaving often bitter divisions. The polygamist leader is currently serving a 5-years-to-life prison sentence for rape as an accomplice. He is accused of performing a marriage between a 14-year-old girl and her 19-year-old cousin.
Colgrove said changes are happening in the communities. The FLDS and the ex-FLDS are starting to talk again.
"There are a lot of people that are starting to step out of their comfort zone and associate and stuff," she said. "Books are a common thing. Books can kind of bring people together."
