07 A Family Miracle: Polygamist Cult Survivors, Part 1 with Anna LeBaron and Ruth Wariner - a podcast by Andrea Joy Wenburg
from 2017-05-01T07:30
In the fall of 2015, Anna LeBaron (author THE POLYGAMIST'S DAUGHTER) sent a Tweet via Twitter to a new author she wanted to support. Unbeknownst to her, the author, Ruth Wariner, was her cousin. She is the daughter of Joel LeBaron, who was killed by his brother Ervil LeBaron's followers in 1972. Anna LeBaron accidentally broke a decades' old silence between their families with a simple Tweet. But after a tenuous introduction through social media, the cousins bridged the gap between their families and Anna offered to help Ruth promote her book, New York Times Bestseller, THE SOUND OF GRAVEL.
