Kaziah hancock biography books

In December 1985, Kaziah Hancock stood on the steps of the courthouse in Salt Lake City and yelled, for everyone to hear, “Thank you God, I’m free!” She had no concept of freedom. Born into polygamy 34 years earlier and raised in what she describes as mental chains, it would be another 15 years before she could slough off the shackles off the prison in her mind and begin her journey toward freedom and success.

Today she is a successful artist and author, currently working with a California agent hoping to get a movie script based on her book, Prisons ofthe Mind. The year 2000 looks like the year of “Kaziah the Goat Woman,” as she is known in central Utah.

The nickname is attributed to Kaziah’s love of goats, which she raises on her Sweetwater Goat Ranch. It is the signature trademark she exhibits in the bottom right hand corner of her artwork.

In truth the goats are much more significant, an ethereal reminder of her earthly vulnerability.
