Escape

This is the personal account of life inside the FLDS, as experienced by Carolyn Jessop. She was born into the cult, into a plural family. At the age of eighteen, she entered into an arranged marriage with a much older man that already had three wives. She was spied on by the other wives, who disliked her and wanted her to be in trouble with her husband. She wound up having eight children with this man. She put up with years of psychological and emotional abuse at the hands of this man and his other wives. She eventually got fed up with that life and absconded with her children. At least one of her children wound up going back to the FLDS, which I was disheartened to see. I thought this book was emotional and candid. I cannot imagine having to endure the things that Carolyn and so many other people go through being in the FLDS.
