In God's Country: In a largely self-contained and secretive polygamist community where the belief is that a man marrying multiple women and having as many children as
humanly possible ensures passage into heaven which in turn means that the older men with status often choose underage girls to bore those multiple children, Judith Leavitt,
a third generation member, is one of the junior wives of community leader, Bishop Josiah Leavitt. They have four children of their own, plus an older, sixteen year old Charlotte
Joseph, being Judith's daughter from a previous marriage.
