She seemed so young, yet the one who seemed to possess the most energy and passion for life. She was so full of energy and intelligence and I am so happy to see that she broke free and is living her best life. I remember watching her jogging around that desolate compound they called “Greenhaven”. I’m cheering for her continued success and recovery. She’s such a blessing and her light definitely shines bright!!!

I am your age..and didn’t experience anything like you did and yet I have nothing of impact to show for my life thus far. For you to become an RN, continue to want to care for and love other and to find your way in what must have seemed like pitch black darkness.. and for you to write this book which will help countless others.. I just applaud you! You have lived 2 completely different life’s in your single journey. It’s strange what paths we are put on, what traumas we endure.. that we either lose our way completely and our light snuffed out forever.. or.. we become a light, a Hannah, for others, sharing our journey and wisdom.

She was always one of the people who stuck out to me in the interview because of how young she was, and I always have wondered about what happened to Tom Green’s wives and children. Ps: Candace was the one he was supposed to marry and she and one of Tom’s kids (in the documentary) liked each other) I hope she is the wife that got annulled and I hope she was saved from that lifestyle. Although to be honest, I kind of hope she wasn’t even the one who married him. She was so young too! Again, thank you for finding Hannah..I really want to read her book! It sounds very inspiring!

    It was wonderful to have a great update on Hannah! After watching the doco years ago I had checked online from time to time to see if there were any life updates for her or the other ladies. Thank you so much guys for this video. Hannah, I’ll definitely be purchasing your book. Love from Brisbane, Australia x.

    Hannah is such an inspiration to others in a controlled situation! I admire the strength and belief in self she has to be able to pull herself out of the situation and to not only move forward with her education and career, but also to "raise" herself, nurture her own budding persona and to care for her children as well. What a wonderful example to other women who are stuck and wanting to make changes. I look forward to your book, and I am definitely already a fan. God bless your endeavors.

    I admire this beautiful, courageous woman so much. I have been through a horrendous situation of physical, sexual and mental abuse for 20 years. I, too, prayed to God for strength and courage to escape with my daughter. It's a long story and people say I should write a book but I'd need a ghost writer and wouldn't know where to start. I suffer from severe ptsd, depression and have been left quite disabled.

    During my pregnancy I developed after reading "the handmaid's tale" a burning curiosity regarding the different lives women were living in this world, and I stumbled upon that documentary and watched and re-watched in a mixture of awe and horror at the candor of Hannah and her then sister wives compared to the appalling living conditions (I still shudder remembering the remains of their previous trailer home that went up in flames along with one of the kids). I am so happy to see her and hear her after all these years, warmed my heart. She was shockingly young at the time and yet she was able to grow and flourish outside her husband grasp.

    Wow, you are in my prayers! I watched a documentary a few years ago about this man with multiple young wives and I wondered how these girls would be in the future. I am so glad you’re clinging to God and His love and free from that. I recently left a fundamentalist faith and it was so difficult my entirely family felt alone and isolated. We felt like we had no community. My children mourned, I mourned, my husband mourned. And then we healed and now we are diligent to test everything with Scripture and not man made rules.
