Escape - 3

This book is basically an biography of Carolyn Jessop's life until now told by herself. The life story is told from her perspective. You see life how she saw it, from her childhood games to her getting spankings.

Her telling it this way let's you get into the book and you have a deeper connection to it. While I read, I read it as though I'm her reliving the events in my head. Not only the perspective, but simply what she's writing about helps you connect. The sometimes serious subject matter and the overall subject of the book would get your roped-in as well, even if the perspective didn't add a helping hand.

I'm sure the book will continue to rope me in, and I expect there to be events that add even more interest to the story itself. The fact that the book is about a woman escaping a terrible polygamist marriage is interesting enough. At this point though, I'm only in her middle school days.
