Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This frightening, moving and often frustrating document alternates between the diaries of the two authors. In her diary, Daniels, a banker in her early 30s, begins to recall the abuse she suffered, beginning when she was five, at the hands of various relatives and neighbors. Scott, the mother of a friend of hers and a psychology professor, records her discovery that many of the same people recently have been abusing her grandchildren. Both women are Mormons, and most of the nearly 20 abusers appear to be church members, but there is little integration of the significance of this fact into the diaries. Furthermore, it is never entirely clear what the relationships among the various abusers were. What is significant is the overwhelming amount of evidence against them, their horrifying actions and the repercussions thereof (e.g., Daniels's multiple personalities). Scott's grandchildren's experiences included "marriage lessons" from their father and the filming of videos. The bare facts serve witness to a painful history, but perhaps some background information would have revealed more complex connections.

Must read!

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

Graphic and shocking, this is the story every member of the church (and state of Utah) MUST read. Of huge consequence there has never been church involvement in any of these cases spoken of.

Otherwise, we will never be the “Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” as described by Ayn Rand.

Excellent, gripping very sad as well. Shows how those in power hide secrets, which will one day damn them for their own inactions.

It was very revealing about sexual abuse within the Mormon Church and Mormon Neighborhoods.

I just feel it was very explicit, maybe too explicit.

Paperdolls: A True Story of Childhood Sexual Abuse in Mormon

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

Very informative, in great detail, but exceedingly shocking, revolting and sickening.

However, it is truth and the abuse needs to be stopped in any way possible!

Truth over Tradition

Ritual Abuse throughout Utah for mind control through trauma

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2011

Verified Purchase

I've lived in Utah for most of my life and you have to put together the pieces of evidence that "All is NOT Well in Zion" contrary to what Prophet (Profit) Hinckley told the members in General Conference in 1996. He said the infamous words of "All is well in Zion" which fulfills LDS scriptural warnings found in 2 Nephi 28 about the blindly obedient being led astray by one (a false prophet DC 64:38-40) who will say "all is well in Zion." Later edited out of his talk written up in the Ensign!

The neighborhood sex rings mentioned in these two prominent neighborhoods along the Wasatch Front in Utah have also been confirmed in Cedar City, Lehi, and many, many other neighborhoods in Utah. A friend's young son was sodomized and traumatized in a neighborhood sex ring in Cedar City, UT eerily similar to what is described in this book. The publically disclosed official "Interoffice Memo" written by Presiding Bishop Glen L. Pace documents the FACTUAL existence of and confirmed satanic ritual abuse of over sixty individuals (mostly abused children) who all stated the same thing despite their widely dispersed locations -- that they were abused by church leaders and threatened if they told much as described in this truthful expose of sex abuse in Mormon neighborhoods.

The leader of one of the sex rings in the Boutiful neighborhood (exact neighborhood location not mentioned in the book but I am a friend of one of the abused girls) was the "apostle's daughter" with her "husband involved in banking". This would have been Kathleen Hinckley and Alan Barnes of Barnes banking.

Interestingly, it was Alan Barnes who confessed to the FBI regarding his writing out the bribery check for the Olympic Committe in the Salt Lake Olympic Committee corruption that made national news. An excellent news article on Barne's confession to the FBI was written in the Salt Lake Tribune entitled "The Silent Witness" since Alan Barnes conveniently died shortly after his confession to the FBI. It would have been horribly embarrassing for Hinckley's pubic image for Alan Barnes to have had to reiterate his confession during the famous Salt Lake City, Utah Olympic trial since his father-in-law was the Prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley, at that time.

I am a mormon who knows the scriptures regardin the need for the Lord's House to be cleansed. I honor the Book of Mormon which gains support from artifacts carbon-dated that match the time line existence of ancient Americans found in the Book of Mormon from the "Hopewell Culture" and other archeological findings in Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, New York, etc. as also carbon-dated by the Smithsonian. The Book of Mormon is a great witness of the "other sheep" that Christ visited (John 10:16), BUT the LDS church needs to get cleaned up and this book, Paperdolls is an excellent expose that All is NOT well in Zion!

Read: Tranceformation in America (MKUltra in the Mormon Church pg 118-119), research why LDS Judge Bybee endorses torture, The 19th Wife by Ann Eliza Young from 1876, Tubal Cain (and LDS secret Temple oaths)

Beware the Righteous

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is reality where it needs most to be seen. Only a righteous Mormon can rape children and threaten to tell everyone they drank coffee, they had been made to drink, if they tell. Religon is the sheep's skin that hands pedophiles their prey. The ultimate hypocracy. The elephant under the rug. The Emperor's new cloths. It could never happen in a Mormon neighborhood because Jesus wouldn't allow it. It's the Lord's Church. The "good" ol' boy's club. This is an excruciatingly honest depiction of humanity at it's worst, and bravery and honisty at it's best. Good and evil can not be determined by appearances, or positions of trust. The process of facing and healing from childhood sexual abuse is as honest and real as it gets. Read it,and don't let it happen again.

Shocking Wake Up Call

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2018

Expensive because this book is out of print and in high demand because of current interest in this subject due to new law suits in the LDS church for ritual abuse, child abuse and rape by leaders.

I read this book 20 years ago, only to realized my wife's family showed so many signs of this type of controlling behavior and feel of evil. It shook me to realize this is going on in our own towns, cities, churches and govt, and being carefully hidden and denied by them most heavily so that it can be protected and continue as a sign of their status and commitment to their cause and secrecy.

It shook me further to realize my own LDS church had investigated this ritual abuse and had found it to be going on and then tried to hide the leaded report and supress and deny anything of this sort ever could possibly go on in our church too. By their fruits ye Should know them.

Google "LDS Pace memorandum" to read the results of the investigation and hiding it and denouncing it as conspiracy theory by those most likely involved. This book is about ritual abuse by the family of current LDS President Nelson, whom many survivors have long referred to as "Dr. Death." Google that and the current multi family law suit (Oct 2018). also google "MeKenna Denson LDS law suit" and "Ronald Meldron Karren LDS law suit" for a preview of the can of worms this book opens up.

Will someone paid in the LDS church WILL report this to Amazon to have it removed? Another testament to hiding works in darkness and masking them with works of goodness instead of simply rooting out evil fruits? Watch and see. Google and share those topics first then check back later to see.
