The book “Escape” by Carolyn Jessop is very informative about the FLDS and the relationships of the wives, husband and children. It’s so bizarre, brutal and controlled that you need to read it if you can get the book.
It is a fast read. Once you start, it’s hard to stop. My copy of the book is being borrowed by my friends. Once everyone reads it, we plan to discuss it.
I plan on reading it as soon as I find it again. I just finished “Stolen Innocence” by Elissa Wall. Broke my heart.
It took a lot for Carolyn Jessop to escape, especially with 8 kids, one of whom required almost constant attention because of his medical problems. The one whom Merril Jessop was willing to let die, to punish Carolyn.
