Carolyn Jessop was born into FLDS (a Mormon faction that believe in polygamy). She married Merril Jessop, who was very high in the order. She suffered many indignities as Merril's 4th wife. They had eight chilren together, as Carolyn knew that the only way to have any kind of respect was to be the mother of children.
Unfortunately, that didn't seem to make any difference. She was determined to escape and did so with all 8 of her children.
Her hardships were real. I just found the book a little repetitive and I guess I didn't really feel the desperation for her. I am sure that she went through hell, it just wasn't really felt in the book.
