When you are reading the story you have to remind yourself that this is for real. It is stranger than fiction for sure. | |

Could be required reading for anyone desiring to know what really went on in the FLDS--not what the media namby-pambied about. The man she escaped from is now the head of the FLDS, succeeding Jeffs. I wrote everyone of my representatives, etc after reading this and asked them please not to end the investigation. They haven't. I think they are aware also. I pray for Carolyn, her children, the Lost Boys and have donated to the Hope Organization after reading this. She doesn't editorialize, she presents facts and those are beyond imagination. | |

I couldn't put this book down. It was a fasinating look into an extreme religious cult. Definately worth reading! | |

In Carolyn Jessup accounts of her life story, I had a better understanding of the world she grow up in. I had a better perception of how the world inside the church worked and understanding in why the members believed the way they do. But I also understood why she had to break away from the pain and abuse she endured. | |

This was a very good book. The subject matter is very interesting and I learned alot about this particular religious sect. It was a very sad story but also filled with much hope. I thought she did a great job writing it. | |

Carolyn writes her story fluidly. She tells the inner most working of the FLDS going into important details that helps people on the outside of this cult understand and enable them to believe the horrible life of the women and children in this cult. Written in clear detail and dealing with not only the gut wrenching stories of abuse and neglect, but her inner most thoughts and plans on escaping life as a slave of these people. Carolyn becomes alive in this book, her children become tangible in the minds of the reader. The horrors of this cult living in our United States under the auspices of the freedom of the Constitution is exposed. Anyone reading this will come to understand why the state of Texas would want to take the children away from those trapped within. Abuse is alive and well and well hidden in the FLDS. Carolyn details how fear, control of information, brute strength, members telling on one another, the from birth indoctrination, male dominance, scripture twisting, physical and emotional and sexual abuse create the prison in which she found herself. Her courageous journey out of the cult is a victorious testimony. She was able to leave a most powerful man, succeed and begin a new life with her children. One can only begin to understand her journey, if one has not lived it. Her well documented and well written journey is one that I will never forget. As a woman and author and as a survivor Carolyn has a lot to offer this world outside the cult. I encourage anyone that has any doubts as to if the FLDS is a religion or a cult read this book before making your final decision as to the answer of that question. Carolyn writes with frank innocence a story that every American should read. This book went to press before the Texas incident. If every American really knew the facts as presented by Carolyn, the outcome for those children might be better. As time goes on, I only hope more people read this story. I had to own it after I read the library copy. I wanted it for my private library. | |

Fantastic book!! This is a true story about an amazing woman who is both bright enough and brave enough to escape the radical Fundamentalist Mormon church community with her 8 children. Very highly recommended! | |

| 1 out of 1 people found the following review helpful. I first saw an interview with Carolyn Jessop on a news network a few weeks ago. She impresssed me as a most articulate and well educated woman who had a story to tell.I had heard about the recent goings on with the FLDS in Texas and listening to her amazing account of life in the FLDS herself ,I felt compelled to learn more.The book seemed to be very scarce in my area. None of the bookstores had her book on the shelves as many people had obviously beaten me to them ,as they too found her interesting.I was very pleased that I was able to win this book on Ebay.I simply love this book and reccommend that everyone read it.This is a piece of American history in itself and people can learn a great deal about the culture of the FLDS. | |
