railroad of sorts. hey, i have an update on a possible home so i want to go through your intake briefly. tanya toole is the founding director of holding out help. she s ruth s counterpart in salt lake and ex-fdls members call her when they re looking for a place to land outside of short creek. tanya and her team have helped thousands of ex-flds transition into the real world. how did you get involved with all of this? we learned we couldn t turn a blind eye to this. the crazier that warren jeffs was getting, we quickly realized we were going to have an onslaught of people and that s what happened in the last three years. to roy and other exiles, tanya has become like a surrogate mother. tanya, she s everything to me. she s been there for me ever

be all over you trying to get you to stay. i didn t want them to change my mind. why did you want to leave? there was just no more hope anymore. i mean, as hard as i tried to be a good person or to follow their rules, i could never be good enough. three months ago, roy and becky reunited in salt lake. the city where they grew up. it s taken a bit to get to know each other again. i knew him as my little brother that i took care of. it s a memory that becky and roy share right here in salt lake. at the base of little cottonwood canyon sits an abandoned house in a suburban neighborhood this is becky and roy s childhood home. as a little kid, i can remember early mornings weeding in the garden. my favorite memories are the mountains and the reservoir we swam in. you-all lived here before you father became the prophet.
