"My name is Flora Jessop. I've been called apostate, vigilante, and crazy bitch, and perhaps I am. But many people call me a hero, and I'd like to think they're right too. EASILY am a hero, maybe it is because every time I can play a role in saving a kid or a woman from a life of servitude and degradation, I'm conserving a little piece of me, too. I was one of twenty-eight children born to my father and his three wives. Indoctrinated to believe the outside world was evil, and this I resided one of the righteous, I was destined to marry a man chosen for me by the Prophet. I would then live in harmony with my sister-wives, keep many children, and follow and provide my husband to be in this life and throughout eternity. But my innocence didn't last long. While still a kid, I realized that the church of the righteous was nothing but a church of lies. WHILE I was eight years old my dad sexually molested me for the very first time, raping me as i was twelve. I tried to get rid of myself. Beaten, molested, taunted, and abused by members of the family alleging they only wished to save my soul became a day to day routine, I ran from this abuse more than once in my early on teens--even wanting to cross the desert on foot. My family hunted me down. I thought government organizations would provide me safety if I reported my dad. Instead, law enforcement officials and interpersonal services colluded with the FLDS to come back me to my family and I ended up again inside polygamy, right where I started out." Flora goes on from there to tell the remarkable true story of how she in the end escaped and has been struggling against frustrating obstructions with hard fought successes in rescuing women and children from the FLDS. It's a story you can't put down.
