Commentary As Books Escape

The dramatic first-person account of life inside an ultra-fundamentalist American religious sect, and one woman’s courageous flight to freedom with her eight children.

When she was eighteen years old, Carolyn Jessop was coerced into an arranged marriage with a total stranger: a man thirty-two years her senior. Merril Jessop already had three wives. But arranged plural marriages were an integral part of Carolyn’s heritage: She was born into and raised in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), the radical offshoot of the Mormon Church that had settled in small communities along the Arizona-Utah border. Over the next fifteen years, Carolyn had eight children and withstood her husband’s psychological abuse and the watchful eyes of his other wives who were locked in a constant battle for supremacy.

Carolyn’s every move was dictated by her husband’s whims. He decided where she lived and how her children would be treated. He controlled the money she earned as a school teacher. He chose when they had sex; Carolyn could only refuse—at her peril. For in the FLDS, a wife’s compliance with her husband determined how much status both she and her children held in the family. Carolyn was miserable for years and wanted out, but she knew that if she tried to leave and got caught, her children would be taken away from her. No woman in the country had ever escaped from the FLDS and managed to get her children out, too. But in 2003, Carolyn chose freedom over fear and fled her home with her eight children. She had $20 to her name.

Escape exposes a world tantamount to a prison camp, created by religious fanatics who, in the name of God, deprive their followers the right to make choices, force women to be totally subservient to men, and brainwash children in church-run schools. Against this background, Carolyn Jessop’s flight takes on an extraordinary, inspiring power. Not only did she manage a daring escape from a brutal environment, she became the first woman ever granted full custody of her children in a contested suit involving the FLDS. And in 2006, her reports to the Utah attorney general on church abuses formed a crucial part of the case that led to the arrest of their notorious leader, Warren Jeffs.

Evaluate Of Books Escape

Carolyn was born into the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS). She never knew any other way of life. But, fortunately, she was 'allowed' to attend college, and rubbed shoulders ... just a tiny bit ... with outsiders. Also, as she was studying for a teaching degree, her education exposed her to concepts about child care, etc. that she had never encountered. After living a life where every move she made had to be 'approved' by her husband for 17 years, and after

This is the most thorough detailing of this particular cultural and religious context to this sect's mode reality that I've ever come across. And not just for polygamy practices either. Because by its very nature of numbers, economics of both time and resources- it's half way to abuse by its dynamics of authority and hierarchy. It's life lived amongst vastly "unequal" members who are yet classified family.But beyond the servile and abusive to individuality "form" is also the occurrence of vile

Fascinating and crazy, or maybe the order should be reversed. It is almost impossible to believe that this could be anybody's reality. Horrifying is probably the more accurate word for this story.This book is so much better than The Sound of Gravel, that I read earlier in 2016. It gives a true glimpse into the core of polygamy, into the crazy world of (insane) prophets. Into a world of complete obedience, where control is being achieved in unimaginable ways. Control preventing the minimum

This is certainly a must-read if you live in Utah, or Texas; if you are Mormon; or if you think polygamy is a victimless crime. It would certainly be interesting if a current polygamist wife could write her version of life in the FLDS community! This book is horrifying, but fascinating. It's difficult to believe anything like this is happening in THIS century.

Can you say "Rush to publish"?There are two things I'm going to review here. One is the premise and the value of the story. The second is the actual writing and presentation of the story.First thing. Great story. Harrowing, scary, sick. Thought-provoking.Second thing. Horrible, horrible, horrible writing. If the story wasn't so compelling by itself, I never would have kept reading. I don't think this ever got past a second editor review. Awkward sentences, bad grammar, rotten phrasing, boring

I dont know why I spend so much time reading and searching for the next utopian society gone horribly wrong fiction, when there is a real such society existing right in my former backyard (Hi Arizona!). Actually, I do know why. When I stop and consider that not only is this shit real, but occurring in my own country (not to mention, to women around the world), it depresses the hell out of me. The polygamy isnt really the scariest part in theory, I actually dont have a problem with polygamy. If

Wow! This author did it again! I loved her book Triumph so I had to read Escape. Both were amazing and super eye opening!!!*P.s. This is my first 5 star book of 2018*This book goes through Carolyn's life. It starts off with her being born into Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) and ending with her freedom and her success of her children.When she was eighteen years old she had an arranged marriage Merril Jessop, a man 30 years older than her and who already had
