OMG, Cupcake...Big Love is the HBO series that replaced The Sopranos and it's all about LDS, FLDS and how some people come to The Church. Check it out on Youtube. Also, I have many books about the subject such as the one by Caroline Jessop when she escaped the sect...
Cupcake - definitely read "One Nation Under Gods". I guarantee you will be incredulous at the lies and coverups from day one of the Mormon church. I hardly know where to begin with them. They were also incredibly racist (it's stomach turning) against blacks and it uncovers the real reason that polygamy is practiced. Brigham Young had many, many people murdered. You get my drift! Here is a typical review from Amazon:

This review is from: One Nation Under Gods: A History of the Mormon Church (Hardcover)
I am a Mormon, but I don't think I will be one for very long. I have been doing my own research into the history of the LDS church for several years now, and can assure readers that everything Abanes says in this volume is true. I have personally looked through many of the documents he used, although certainly not all of them by any means, and he accurately represents their contents.
And despite my own investigation, which has been very deep, Abanes was still able to furnish several bits of data I never knew-- those missing pieces I could not find on my own. My heart is heavy, but my mind and soul have been enlightened. It's time to move on, and I encourage other Latter-day Saints to do the same thing. Abanes' book is a great place to start learning the truth. It contains no sarcasm, no anti-Mormon comments, no nasty tone so often present in books about the church. The tone is respectful, fair, and true.
