Carolyn Jessop - Works of Betty Jessop

Works of Betty Jessop

Carolyn's second child, Betty Jane Jessop, turned eighteen in 2007 and returned to the FLDS, stating that there was nothing for her outside of it and that she disliked the outside world. As was acknowledged in her mother's book, Betty said that she kicked and screamed when she was first taken out of the FLDS, and that the years that followed were traumatic. She disputed the claims in Carolyn's book, saying "it just makes me want to laugh." In 2009 it was announced that she would be writing her own book with the help of her older half-sister, Maggie Jessop. Betty states that her father instructed them to tell only the truth, to allow readers to come across their own conclusions, and not to "slam Carolyn."

Famous quotes containing the words works of, works and/or betty:

    Words are always getting conventionalized to some secondary meaning. It is one of the works of poetry to take the truants in custody and bring them back to their right senses.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Great works constructed there in nature’s spite
    For scholars and for poets after us,
    Thoughts long knitted into a single thought,
    A dance-like glory that those walls begot.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, “Give me the co-ordinates.”... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
