From Publishers Weekly

Seventeen years after being forced into a polygamous marriage, Jessop escaped from the cultlike Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints with her eight children. She recounts the horrid events that led her to break free from the oppressive world she knew and how she has managed to survive since escaping, despite threats and legal battles with her husband and the Church. Though sometimes her retelling overflows with colorful foreshadowing and commentary on how exceptional she is, the everyday details she reveals about this polygamous society are devastating and tragic. Frasier delivers Jessop's words in a soft voice that develops intriguingly from an innocent and naïve tone into a more assertive and self-confident one that mirrors Jessop's journey. She maintains the same rhythm, but through the inspired words of the text, she really embraces Jessop's persona. The bonus telephone interview with Jessop on the final disc suffers from poor sound quality and, unfortunately, doesn't add any new information. Simultaneous release with the Doubleday hardcover.

Review

"Escape provides an astonishing look behind the tightly drawn curtains of the FLDS Church, one of the most secretive religious groups in the United States. The story Carolyn Jessop tells is so weird and shocking that one hesitates to believe a sect like this, with 10,000 polygamous followers, could really exist in 21st-century America. But Jessop’s courageous, heart-wrenching account is absolutely factual. This riveting book reminds us that truth can indeed be much, much stranger than fiction."
—Jon Krakauer, Author of Under the Banner of Heaven, Into Thin Air, and Into the Wild

5.0étoiles sur 5 You just HAVE to read this. She deserves to have her story's read. All the women she represents do., Déc 3 2007
Par Annie Brodeur (Montréal) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a window open on a world we don't really want to think about, but should. Polygamy still thrives in parts of the US and Canada, despite what most people assume. In an extremely closed community, Colorado City-Hildale, a woman is taught from infancy that the world at large (of which their knowledge is more than limited, it's along the lines of inexistent) is not only doomed, it's also evil because it doesn't practice The Principle. Here lies the core of their faith: being a plural wife is the highest fate there is. That knowledge is combined with the practice of 'perfect faith through perfect obedience' to her husband who, if he wants will pull her through the veil of the kingdom of God where her soul would live as one God's chosen. That one day the one mighty and strong would come and God's chosen would live through a thousand years of peace.

That's what Carolyn Jessop was brought up to believe.

That is not what she found. Reality was that if a woman doesn't keep sweet and isn't in perfect harmony with her husband and sister wives and isn't perfectly obedient to her husband and the favorite wife that woman is considered rebellious and is scorned by the community. That in such cases, every bad thing that came her way is God's way of punishing her. That a woman who isn't favoured (sexually, of course) would lead a miserable life. That a woman without a womb that produces babies is NOTHING. She isn't seen, She isn't heard, She isn't believed. She just isn't.

And that is the life you get to read about here. Simply, without frills, theatrics or writers tricks, we get the life of an amazingly strong, brave, resilient woman.

I purchased this book as I have always been interested in multi-wive families and this book most certainly provided a good read. Carolyn went through so much during her time trying to be loyal to her faith.
I typically don't read much, but this book really snagged me and I would think it would do the same for just about anyone who has read it. I doubt you will be dissapointed.

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Escape (Paperback)
This is an excellent memoir that recounts the author's life as a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), a splinter breakaway group of the Mormon Church that still practices polygamy as a central tenet of its beliefs. Rejected by mainstream Mormons, these patriarchal fundamentalists live in a way that would seem aberrant to most Americans. The author's compelling story allows the reader an intriguing glimpse behind the closed doors of the lifestyle of this fundamentalist group.

The author, Carolyn Jessop, was born in 1968 into a family that had practiced polygamy for six generations on her mother's side, starting life In Hildale, Utah, a FLDS enclave. They later moved to Salt Lake City, Utah when the author was about five, only to move a year later to Colorado City, Arizona, another FLDS enclave, where the public schools were staffed by teachers who were FLDS adherents. While the author describes what is like growing up in a FLDS household, the book focuses on the turn that her life took, when at the age of eighteen, her marriage was arranged and she found herself married to a total stranger, Willie Jessop, a fifty year old man with two other wives at the time.

The author recounts what is what like being the third wife in that polygamous household, which was filled with abuse, servitude, loneliness, and isolation. Miserable for years and hoping to break the cycle of polygamy for her children, who had been thoroughly indoctrinated in FLDS beliefs, the author finally did so in 2003, managing to take her eight children with her to freedom, but it was far from easy. Yet at the end of the day, the author was able to rebuild her life and give her children the tools to help them find their own destiny.

Through the author, one is able to see what life is like within such an insular community and the subservient role the FLDS allocated for its women. It is little wonder that people, especially women, that come from this culture seem to need deprogramming, as they have been so thoroughly brainwashed. Along with indoctrination of FLDS beliefs, these people have also been indoctrinated into having a palpable fear of the outside world, which has been totally demonized. The reader is also able to see the further descent into harsh extremism that the FLDS underwent, as the leadership in the church changed hands into those of Warren Jeffs, a man to whom the author's husband had been fiercely loyal.

This is a fascinating, well-written account by one who has lived a life that most would rather not have to live. It is an insider's look at a religious community that is extreme in its beliefs and outrageous in its treatment of women. So unique and quirky are its beliefs that the reader will be fascinated that the FLDS can exist in twenty first century America.
