 impossible to understand June 28, 2008
what an unbelievably horrible way for a woman to have to live. they must be born with NO backbone whatsoever.
those men should all be locked up where they cant hurt anyone else much less keep on reproducing themselves.
what a disgrace to the feminine gendar.
very readable but sickening book.
 Interesting but poorly written June 27, 2008

While Carolyn's tale is interesting, horrifying and even compelling the story suffers from poorly constructed sentences, BORING redundancies and just plain bad writing. WHERE was this woman's editor?? If it were not for the fascinating insight into this secretive society I wouldn't have been able to trudge through the whole thing. Alas, the story itself saved the book from it's writer.

Having lived in Arizona most of my life I have been following stories about the FLDS for years and watched as much of the story has unfolded and steps were taken to try and stop some of the corruption and abuse that occured once Warren Jeffs became prophet. Carolyn Jessop's book had me glued to it - I could not put it down and it still haunts me a bit as I have gone into the FLDS Truths website and it is eerie how they are still trying to discredit her. It is a true story and her former husband still wields incredible power over the sect and it was scary watching the women speak at the YFZ ranch after the raid. Carolyn is very brave and I hope much good will come of her stepping out of the box and coming forward with her story. I know a lot already has and I hope more follows - anyone who likes this book should watch the documentary "Banking On Heaven".
Loved it! June 24, 2008

I LOVED this book. I ordered it after seeing her appear on Oprah. I couldn't put this book down. Carrolyn really goes into alot of detail about her marriage, and her life in general growing up on a compound. I didn't know much about polgamy before I read Carrolyn's book, and now I can't read enough about it. I think it is a very intresting way of life.
 Poorly written, whiny, but interesting June 23, 2008

The book was hard for me to read because it's so poorly written. It's disjointed and whiny, but describes a way of life comletely unknown to me so I worked my way through it. I think it could be a good story if it was written in a less one-sided, less whiny, more cohesive style.
