In this powerful and eye-opening interview, Sam and Melissa sit down with Tineise, a brave woman who shares her incredible story of growing up in Centennial Park, a strict polygamist community that broke away from the FLDS church in the 1980s. Tineise opens up about her life in a polygamist home, the rigid roles imposed by the community, and the intense control exerted over every aspect of her life. She recounts her courageous decision to escape, the challenges she faced while on the run, and how she ultimately found freedom despite those trying to bring her back. Join us for this compelling conversation as Tineise sheds light on the realities of life within Centennial Park and her journey to reclaim her life.
