WOW….WOW….WOW!! This was a very good book. Carolyn Jessop was married to one of the most prestigious powerful men of the FLDS and her story is amazing. Once again this story had new information. My eyes were opened even further in this book with yet  another issue in the FLDS and that is the hidden emotional and physical abuse and violence. This was the first polygamy book I have read with such intense violence and abuse. We all know what a creep Warren Jeffs is but this Jessop guy was horrid! He played favoritism, which is a huge contradiction to the FLDS beliefs and he let his favorite wife, Barbara abuse and torture his other wives and their children. Her husband had most of his wives and children living in fear and starvation while he and Barbara were gallivanting around eating and staying in extravagant places. Carolyn Jessops story is very touching and heart breaking. Her escape was a miracle and her children  have been saved and they are flourishing into happy healthy kids. This is a good read but reading it may anger you and might bring on feelings you never knew you had. You will have a strong feeling of hate and astonishment towards the callous and crass actions of Merrill Jessop and his Wife Barbara and their many, many minions. This book also made me reconsider why women and children choose to stay in this society of torture. You get an in depth view of how much mind control, brain washing and severe emotional and mental abuse is used and in fact pushed. Elders from the FLDS church and the community push and encourage torture and punishment in order to teach “your” wives and children how to obey and “keep sweet”, sickening! Jessop shares the story of men having their wives and children taken from them to be remarried to a more loyal “Man”. It blows me away that this is happening in the United States! I recommend this book, and will continue to read further into the madness of Warren Jeffs and the FLDS!  Very Good Book!
