review 1: In 2003, Carolyn Jessop, a lifelong member of the FLDS, gathered her eight children and escaped in the middle of the night to freedom. Jessop thought she had put her past behind her. On April 3, 2008, the state of Texas, acting on a tip from a girl who’d called a hotline alleging abuse, staged a surprise raid on the Yearning for Zion Ranch, a sprawling, 1700-acre compound near Eldorado, Texas, where the ranch was being run by Merril Jessop, Carolyn’s ex-husband. What follows is a story of persistence and belief in the system.
review 2: The title's bit misleading. The first half of the book focuses on Jessop's involvement in and reactions to the 2008 raid on the FLDS Yearning for Zion ranch, and the second half covers some of the same ground from her first b... moreook. Only briefly does she touch on lessons that enabled her to survive fleeing the polygamous cult. However, my high interest in her story and the FLDS in general still guaranteed an interesting read. less
