 Amazing Book July 16, 2008
Carolyn Jessop did an amazing job writing this book. I could not put it down!!! While it was incredibly difficult to relate to why she stayed with her evil "husband", I could relate to her love for her children. HOW MUCH ABUSE IS TOO MUCH???
Hopefully this book can be smuggled in to the YFZ Ranch in Eldorado,Texas and others will read it and be inspired to escape from the FLDS Evil Empire, also!! There is nothing on earth she could have done that would have been better than writing this account of her life in the FLDS with Merril Jessop. I kept wondering if he has read it. I would be willing to bet that he HAS, and I would have loved to have seen the look on his face as all of his warts were exposed to the world.
 Rude comments under customer images. July 13, 2008

I haven't read this book, but it looks like a devoted FLDS member uploaded most of the "customer images" and put some pretty rude captions underneath some of them.
I agree with the 6/27/2008 review July 9, 2008

I bought this book full-price from Wal-Mart because of all the hype and couldn't get past page 150. The story, if exciting or interesting, was not reflected in the writing of this book at all. This book read like a teenager's diary. And then and then I did we did how could I what would I . . . It was too boring for words. When I think about it, what I think the book's writing is missing is feeling. I got no feeling from Jessop at all from reading this book. I wanted to note that she evokes the same reaction in her tv interviews too.
the message.....Don't give up!! July 9, 2008
This book was good. I love to read books about people's triumphs to give themselves a better life. And this courages woman did alone with eight kids under her wing. It was very impressive how she manages to overcome such cruel situations in a polygamy world and live to tell about it. If you need inspiration this is a great read.
MUST READ!!!! July 9, 2008
I could not put this book down. I am never like this.....This woman deserves a HUGE metal.I hope she makes some money off this book because lord knows she deserves every single penny.
