More from the courageous Carolyn Jessop. With better writing than her first book Escape it was a quick read. Part one focuses on the raid at the Texas compound of the FLDS, and the harrowing & frustrating weeks and months that followed. Part two focuses on Carolyn who details her incremental internal changes that led her to shift her thinking and escape from the oppressive & abusive cult she was born into. She ultimately triumphs personally over the hold of brainwashing & mind control as well as triumphing in a court of law, winning a child support judgement against her captor/spouse, which was a blow to the defiant FLDS as well as a moral victory & validation from the law/outside world for Carolyn personally.
