Escape by Carolyn Jessop

3.0

Probably 3.5 stars. This is the second FLDS memoir I've read, and I did like this a little more than "Stolen Innocence" but I wish more time was spent on life AFTER her escape. I know that a lot of people want to hear about the creepy stuff that goes on inside of the FLDS compound, and that is probably what sells books. I just feel like the more important story to tell is how a woman with no money was able to escape a very abusive marriage with all 8 of her kids, one of whom was handicapped. I would imagine there are a lot of women who could be very inspired by that part of the story. It does look like there might be a follow up book, maybe she was saving that for the sequel?
