Search - Escape

I enjoyed "Escape" as it gave me a glimpse into a world I would never know really existed. She is a brave and courageous woman...I am glad she has found happiness at last. Very eye-opening! I would definitely recommend this book.

Amazing read. I read this book in two days! I just want to give this woman a hug and tell her how proud I am of her. This is a great, inspiring story. The writing is awsome and the plot just keeps on going. I loved it and highly suggest picking this up for a quick read. Her story will stay with me forever.


"Stay Sweet"

I'm not usually a reader of memoirs and I'll be honest in saying that this book only appealed to me because I am a fan of the HBO series Big Love. In watching that show I've always wondered how women could see polygamy as an acceptable institution. This book turns that question upside down. I guess I never took into consideration those women who were born into this religious institution. The true story that Carolyn Jessop tells is mesermizing to say the least. She's an amazing woman who truly gave an even greater meaning to the word mother than anyone I have known. The things she suffered and endured just to protect her children was shocking. A must read

My book club ladies all read this book. I found the topic, real life situations etc... fascinating. But, it was not very well written, and, at times, just went on and on about the same subject. All in all, definitely opened my eyes to a whole different way of life.

I couldn't believe how cruel the leaders of this cult are.

Another great read for those interested in hearing the story of the FLDS from those who lived within it. Told by a truly courageous woman, who is the first woman in the history of the FLDS to manage to flee and win legal custody of all her children, her story is a powerful one. Definitely worth reading.
