Ruth Wariner was the thirty-ninth of her father's forty-two children, growing up on a farm in rural Mexico, where authorities turn a blind eye to the practices of her community. She lived in ramshackle house without indoor plumbing or electricity. 

After Ruth's father - the man who had been the founding prophet of the colony - was murdered by his brother in a bid for church power, her mother remarried, becoming the second wife of another faithful congregant.
