 Charlotte Singer Swapp
   Runtime: 109 minutes || Published: 16 October 2015

Charlotte Singer Swapp's compelling story begins with growing up in an independent fundamentalist Mormon family whose lives were shattered by the tragic murder of her father. Her husband Addam later took upon himself the task of defending the family, and this eventually escalated to violence, a highly-publicized FBI seige, and her husband's subsequent imprisonment. Throughout many dark days, months, and years, the Lord led Charlotte, a firmly committed Mormon Fundamentalist, on a journey to Himself.

As a child growing up in an abusive Mormon Fundamentalist home, Mary had an innate and tender love for God.

As a young adult, she and her husband left the polygamous group and joined the mainstream Mormon church. While she was relieved to put polygamy behind her, it did not solve the problem of her lost fellowship with the true God of the Bible--until one day He revealed himself to her, and set her free.
