Description
Carolyn Jessop, New York Times bestselling author of Escape, returns with the moving and inspirational tale of her life after she heroically fled the cult she'd been raised in and hares the sources of strength that allowed her not just to survive, but to flourish in her new life. The tools of her transformation range from powerful female role models to Curves fitness clubs to a college education, With her characteristic honesty and steadfast sense of justice, Jessop, a trained educator who taught elementary school for seven years, shares her strong opinions on such controversial topics as home-schooling and the need for the court system to hold "deadbeat dads" accountable. An extraordinary woman who has overcome countless challenges and tragedies in her lfie, Jessop shows us how she has triumphed in spite of everything—and how you can, too, no matter what adversity you're facing.
