Triumph Life After the CultA Survivor Lessons eBook Carolyn Jessop Laura Palmer

I read her first book and felt I wanted to read the second one as well. To me it is almost unimaginable that something like that happens right here in the U.S. People in that religious offspring of the Latter Day's Saints cult are completely indoctrinated. Women have no rights, are married off often at 12 or 14 years of age to 58 year old men. Young men are often kicked out of that cult so the old men will not have any competition and some of those men with multiple wives will produce something like 59 offspring. In this day and age with world population exploding no man should be allowed to foster 59 kids. Carolyn Jessop managed to escape despite the extreme difficulties and for the first time experienced real love, was able to take care of her kids the way she wanted and felt worthy as a person.

Triumph Life After the CultA Survivor Lessons eBook Carolyn Jessop Laura Palmer Reviews

A book that is hard to put down. While some of it was a little repetitive from her first book, nevertheless I found it riveting. Since Ms Jessop was raised in polygamy, it took years for her to understand that her deep unhappiness with the system was not an evil reflection on her own character, as she had been taught. Here she describes the big and little things that opened her eyes to the truth, also giving encouragement and practical advice to others who may be dealing with polygamy or other forms of sanctioned evil. There are many.
One of her grandmothers was also a teacher, who lived in polygamy before it became so extreme. Although she was allowed to keep a part of her small teaching salary, this was inadequate to ensure her security. In a stroke of genius and perseverance, she saved for and purchased a back hoe for use on the weekends, which neighbors clamored for and were willing to pay. Thus Ms Jessop had a role model from a previous generation for the independence she began to discover in fleeing the cult and writing her book "Escape"
I wish Ms Jessop the very best and would love an update on her family!
In her first book Carolyn Jessop details her life, her marriage to Merill Jessop, the birth of her eight children and their escape in 2003.

This book details her life after the escape. After the raid on the Texas FLDS Compound Carolyn was asked to fly down to Texas to help investigators and the CPS to better understand the mindset of the people of the FLDS. Carolyn brought her two younger daughters to show their half-siblings that they did not have to worry about the outside world. They were worried because at least 8 of Merill's daughters by several other wives were taken during the raid.

Shortly after the raid Carolyn was involved in several court cases dealing with the raid and the FLDS. One of them involved her former step-daughter who was married to Warren Jeffs when he was 50 and she was 12. Carolyn testified about abuse that she witnessed from the girls mother Barbara. Prosecutors wanted to take both of Barbara's underage children from her, but only ended up getting the daughter who married Warren removed leaving Barbara with her 11 year old son.

The other case dealt with money. After Carolyn escaped with her children Merill did not pay her any money to help support their children. Carolyn knew that he had the money and that he was hiding some, but after the escape she did not have the financial resources to go after him. After the raid she knew would be a good time to iron out the money that Carolyn felt Merill owed her and their children. Their daughter Luanne as well as Carolyn's father testified. After the case was settled Carolyn got to see her daughter Betty who had returned to the FLDS two days after her 18th birthday.

This part of the book also details how the raid effected her children. During this time her older children would get calls from their half-siblings still in the FLDS which were very hard on them because the siblings would attack Carolyn. It also brought back bad memories of abuse, both physical and sexual, that happened to her children by their half siblings (who used the raid to their advantage in print and television stories.)

The second part of the book details the things that Carolyn learned along the way that helped her once she escaped.

All in all a very inspirational story about a woman who faced adversary and overcame it and learned something from it.
