About the Author

Rebecca Musser is a courageous author and advocate whose life story embodies resilience and the pursuit of justice. Born into the isolated world of a polygamous cult, she escaped at a young age, becoming one of the key witnesses in the landmark trials that exposed the abuses within the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In her gripping memoir, The Witness Wore Red: The 19th Wife Who Brought Polygamous Cult Leaders to Justice, Musser recounts her harrowing experiences, from forced marriage to her pivotal role in testifying against cult leader Warren Jeffs. Today, she dedicates her efforts to supporting survivors of abuse and raising awareness about the dangers of religious extremism, transforming personal trauma into a powerful narrative of empowerment and reform.
