As I've been reading Escape, I noticed Jessop's attitude towards the books content. Her attitude is deeper than simply friendly or unfriendly, I'd say it was bitter. Since the experiences chronicled in this book represent a tough time in her life, that attitude is understandable.
Since she's talking about her life as a polygamist and strict Mormon, bitter is easily seen. In the preface, bitter is shown the most. Though it's just a glimpse into whats the come, you see the bitterness in the way she talks about her escape. Also, in general, most people would be pretty bitter in telling how they escaped from polygamy, especially if it had a huge impact on their life.
I'm sure the feeling of bitterness will continue throughout the book as Jessop continues her chronicle of her escape. I hope to read more and be further enthralled by the book.

Bitter is a good word to describe tone--and your understanding of the forces that have contributed to her attitude is good. Enjoy....
