Having watched the British documentary about Tom Green, I hoped that Hannah was doing well. She seemed so innocent and I hated seeing how much control and dishonesty he forced on their lives. I couldn’t click fast enough when this popped up! Thank you for this interview.
@@amandan943 I didn't get from Amanda's video why Hannah's sister Cari Bjorkman, and the two remaining stepdaughter/wives/victims Linda Kunz and Shirley Beagley all married Daniel Kingston Jr after Tom Green's death. What is the benefit of that for them? Sex with a younger man than Tom Green more than once a month? How many wives does Daniel Kingston Jr even have? (Amanda mangles some Peterson group info in that video BTW.)
@@user-ur5zm8zo3w I’m not sure. Hopefully she will do an audiobook and I will listen to it and find out. I believe in the beginning of this interview she made mention to it when she said that he ended up joining a group because he wanted his children to have someone to marry I’m guessing that was the point in joining the Kingston group if in fact, that’s what they did.
How beautiful ❤ I hope this message finds you well my friend! *** I just realized what I said, and I didn't mean any disrespect by the word 'sweet' so I changed it🙏
All of this discussion is focused on Hannah her feelings, but honestly I’m most proud of her for rescuing her children from this inter generational trauma! Well done, Mom!
Her children do have inter-generational trauma. Her oldest daughter married at 16 and had three children before her early 20's. Another daughter bad emotional problems according to the book.
@@nnaaddiaa She has grandchildren and by my reading of the book, there is intergenerational trauma to the GC and Hannah says this in the book. It's very sad.
There is no non-weird way to say this but HANNAH I have thought about you and wondered about you for YEARS and I am so excited to hear you are okay and "out"!
That isn't weird at all. It's showing empathy. You were wondering about a child sex abuse/cult brainwashing victim that was paraded around the media. I wondered for years what became of other kids in my parents' cult.
@@tiffprendergast I know he was for a while but I heard he can't anymore. His believers just think the devil people are torturing him. All of these gods that get beat down and murdered are not as powerful as taught to believe. Probably why most of them are forgotten about
I watched the Tom Green documentary as well. That documentary had stuck with me for years because it was so unbelievable that that man was with such young girls. I can’t believe this is the same Hannah from that documentary. I’m so glad to see she is doing so well today!
I saw it too, and always wondered how those two blonde children were doing (Hannah and her older sister). The wives were remarkably strong people. They endured those abusive experiences, and had babies without medical assistance, and seemed very composed and good with their responsibilities. I know they had a lot of trauma they've had to recover from, but I admire their strength.
her saying here she's a people pleaser, reminded me of when Tom was describing his favorite things about all the women and he said that Hannah works so hard and is always trying so hard. Exploited that poor woman's most vulnerable quality.
Satan is real, and he masquerades as an "Angel of Light" says the Bible. It also says that he comes to steal, kill and destroy. The entire LDS "religion" is a construct meant to distract sweet, pure, well-meaning people from finding the true God, Creator of the Universe, and HIS Son Jesus Christ, who is our TRUE HIGH PRIEST - we need no other! I feel so deeply for all those who have been caught up in this deception. May God bless you, Hannah, and may you one day know the true Lover of your Soul, the authentic Jesus.
“I didn’t even know my favorite color”. That got me. And than somebody asked how old she was at one point, and she says “that was when he was in prison”, like her own age is just defined by his story. It’s just amazing she found the strength to be who she’s become and do what she’s done.
Exactly. I remember in watching the British documentary and there was a part when they asked her if she would be jealous when he was thinking of taking Candace as another wife. She said: “It’s what Tom wants and what he wants is what I want” That resonated with me.
I have watched all the episodes and documentaries featuring Tom Greene and his family. Hannah always was the one wife that plucked at my heart. 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 remember when I watched this when it came out and all I could think was… dear God I hope Hannah gets out, she has no idea, no clue, she couldn’t know how awful her life was and what was being taken from her because she was so innocent and sheltered and groomed and brainwashed. I could just cry seeing the woman she is now, she is strong and empowered now. She broke free.
Oh my gosh HANNAH! I saw the Tom Green documentaries earlier this year, and hoped so much for the safety and freedom of the girls and their children. Sam & Melissa, it’s such a happy relief to find out through your channel that Hannah has a better life now. I was worried about her presently being stuck as another fundamentalist monster’s wife.
I grew up in Lynndyl and worked at the store there with my mom in the late 90's. I remember Hannah and her family coming in several times when I was working. I remember her specifically because where some of the other girls and women were much more serious, she always had the brightest smile. Tom had tried to talk my (single) mom into moving out there and becoming one of his wives. thank goodness it was a hard no for her.
I remember seeing this young lady with Tom Green when he was featured on TV. I’m so happy Hannah has come out the other side of this nightmare. I pray from here on there’s nothing but joy in her life.
I used to watch anything I could about Tom Green and his wives. I recognized Hannah right away. I’m glad she is telling her story and will definitely read her book.
This is so crazy!! I was friends with Hannah’s younger sister Naomi who ended up marrying Tom Green. I remember going with my friend Naomi to meet all the sister wives and kids. I grew up seeing pictures of Hannah and all the wives and family.
That documentary was the first on polygamy that I ever saw. It was years ago, long before heard about Warren Jeffs etc. I watched it again a few weeks ago. So great to see an interview with one of those girls!
From the UK, I watched the documentary about Tom Green. I'd also seen him on Judge Judy, I felt so sorry for the wives and their children. It was so sad to hear about the little one that passed in the trailer fire. It so comforting to see that Hannah has not only escaped this lifestyle but is absolutely thriving and loving her life now. I'm very interested in getting a copy of the book.
This changed me. I cried all the way thru. I remember being a kid and watching donahue and everything. Ive gone thru a lifetime of trauma. Since my son was murdered 5 yrs ago and I stopped living then. My dad is missing now. Its constant stress. Hearing what she said about regret was like someone reaching their hand thru the fog to me. I will be forever grateful.
When we drove through the state of Utah without knowing anything about Mormonism or the state's history, i commented to my husband that i thought it was weird that everyone kind of looked alike. Now i know why! Literally nearly everyone shares DNA.
@@kimstout6419 it is a thing in Utah, I agree but not all of us support the plastic surgery thing and are crazy about it. All the friends and people I hang out with from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are just regular people who live their lives, have one husband, owe wife, kids and live normal lives with no plastic surgeries.
I found “keep sweet pray, obey” on netflix.. so i did some googling.. stumbled upon your channel and MAN. I AM SO HAPPY to see Hannah now!!!! Ive wondered about her for years since watching the Tom Green documentary.
Hannah stood out to me in the documentary I saw on TH-cam, something about her shined. Of course all of the girls seemed lovely but Hannah she really did shine and so very beautiful 🖤
Her shiny eyes, her rosy cheeks, her hair... her image stuck with me too, she had the adoring glaze a child has looking at her dad, I find Tom even more repulsing for that...
@@tiffprendergast the infamous fundie fawning gaze... Hannah however wasn't trying to look childish to make her husband feel narcisistically satisfied, she WAS a child dealing with her groomer
I think she may have been the one that Tom expressed his sexual desire for when she was wearing a school like uniform dress and appeared to be outside engaging in some innocent young child activity.
I recall seeing this documentary and especially Hannah, who at the time was the youngest wife. I am so sorry for what she went through, but love her independence now❤ a practicing Nurse is some serious schooling! What an amazing accomplishment!! Hannah you should be so proud!!❤
I remember Hannah in that documentary and she celebrated her 18th birthday on the show. I hoped she would break free. She is and was so beautiful, inside and out. ❤
I'm so glad she broke away! That is so hard to do. I was stuck in an abusive marriage. He had his family's support and the church also. I had no support. But I've been free now since 1993! Its a good feeling.
Hannah definitely seemed like the most intelligent and most “normal” and absolutely the most beautiful of the rest of that group. I’m so very glad to hear she escaped and is doing well!!
I remember that Dateline episode. I'm so happy that Hannah took charge of her life and look forward to reading her book. Listening to Hannah talk about healing shows us that she's probably a really awesome nurse!
What an incredible woman. I am so grateful to have stumbled upon this video this morning. I am 37, and going through an identity crisis (I have 8 and 4 year old boys, and a 6 year old daughter and thought being a mama was the most important thing to strive for - and as grateful and blessed as I am to have them, I am now realizing that I completely lost myself and don’t know who I am. Add horrible chronic pain, childhood trauma, etc., and I’m struggling bad!). Thank you for sharing your incredible story and TRIUMPH, Hannah!! I am in awe, and very inspired by your story. I love this life you have created for yourself from complete ash, trauma, abuse, etc. You are so strong, Hannah, and changing so many lives! 💝
I clicked on this faster than any YT video! I watched this documentary about 5 yrs ago & was so worried for all these women but especially for Hannah. She seemed so sweet, innocent & incredibly smart. She deserved better, they all did. I am so happy she found her freedom! 💗
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.
omg i can't believe this is actually hannah 🙏🙏 ive wondered about the aftermath of that documentary for years and thought that we'd never get to find out what happened to all those girls. so glad hannah is doing well, what an incredibly strong human being! 💗
The Tom Green documentary was terrifying. I remember watching Hannah in it and just hoping she found her way out to a better life. It is so good to see her now. Thank you Hannah for coming in to show us all how amazing you are doing. Many of us worried about that little girl now we don’t have to worry anymore ❤
I am so glad I happened upon this interview. I watched the documentary about Tom Green and his family many years ago. I am ashamed to say that I fell for his lies and the portrayal that they were a happy and well functioning family. It is so sad to find out years later how oppressed and abused all of the wives were. It is wonderful to know that Hannah was able to escape that lifestyle and pursue her dreams and get the education she wanted. I cant wait to read her book!
I found the documentary on YT a few years back. Hannah was always one of the most innocent ones. I had always wondered about each of them and hoped they were well. So glad to see she's done well with her life.
Hannah.. you are amazing! I remember watching the documentary when you were teenager. You stood out as such a beautiful light to me.there was something clearly special about you. I could not make sense of why that was happening to you and it broke my heart. 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. I wish you the very best and always have. ❤️💪🏻
Hannah! I always wondered what happened to her. She seemed so sweet and naive in the ancient Ton Green doc. I’m so glad she is put and protecting young women from monsters.
I had to pull over when I realized who you are Hannah in tears I am so incredibly proud and inspired by you I can’t wait to read your book. You are amazing
Hannah was always the one i felt for, whenever i watched any coverage. She always looked so happy but she had more in common with the children than the other wives.
Hannah, I hope you read this comment. Thank you for sharing. I am not brave enough to share my sexual trauma, but a lot of what you said resonated with me. At the end of the interview, I saw YOU: the sweet girl who I last saw in that documentary. He didn't take that. I actually think you would also make an amazing counselor. Your depth of compassion is palpable.
Even if you haven’t shared your trama, you are still a strong, brave and intelligent survivor. What happened to you is your truth and don’t let anyone take that away from you. Wishing you the best of luck.
Thank you for Sharing your story. I saw those interviews with Tom Green many years ago and I have thought about and prayed for his wives and children many times. I’m proud of where you are today. I will continue to pray for your family.
💗💗This video randomly popped up on my FYP and I’m so glad it did! I remember watching the documentary years ago and the judge Judy episode. Ive thought about Hannah and the other women (and the children) from time to time and I’m so glad to hear she’s thriving. Hannah if you read this, I want you to know how much you have triumphed. Nursing school is incredibly difficult. You picked such a wonderful career but also an incredibly difficult and emotionally/physically taxing. I wish I could give you a hug. From one FNP to another, you’re amazing and I hope you feel so proud of yourself. 💗💗
I'm so so happy for Hannah. I think because we share a name she really stood out to me in the documentaries and news stories I've seen.... but her sweetness and clear love for her kids really made me want her to thrive!! 🥰❤️🎉 so excited to read her book!!!
If you’re reading, I’m so happy you’re doing well, Hannah! I just watched the documentary for the second time after a few years and this time it *really* struck, because I just finished the most recent season of Plathville, how Hannah had such a vacant look, almost like her brain had nothing more in it than what she was supposed to parrot back. I’m not saying that she seemed unintelligent, but just had this vacant almost robotic quality when she spoke that was so similar to the way Lydia Plath speaks. And now that is completely gone, and had so clearly been a product of her upbringing/family situation. I feel like it must be a coping mechanism and so happy that it’s not needed in her current life.
I have always hoped that the women in that documentary had found freedom, health and happiness. I am so so happy that I stumbled on this video, and now I know that Hannah is doing well. What an accomplishment! I'm sure it was very difficult to achieve. All the best to you, Hannah ❤
I just went back to watch the documentary to refresh my memory before watching this, and now I have so many questions that I hope get answered here. But some of them are very specific, so I don’t know that they’ll be addressed. But I am so happy you got Hannah for this interview! 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!
Hannah, I am SO INCREDIBLY PROUD OF YOU!! Being a Nurse Practitioner is absolutely the best career path I could have ever chosen! 🙏🏻 As for you-- these degree accomplishments have shown you that you indeed COULD overcome the life situation that was placed upon you at such a young age! 💜
I remembered watching a documentary about this. She seemed like she did not belong there and did not fit that mentality. I'm glad she is where she is. It's so inspiring!
I've been fascinated with Tom and his wives since seeing them years and years ago. I always thought Hannah was a special soul in all the documentaries. I'm so happy to see this update and get to hear that she's gotten a life and mission of her own and that she's getting to shine bright in the world. Thank you for this respectful and informative interview. Would love to see more from the wives and children of Tom Green. Sending love and prayers to the three of you!
I remember watching this documentry, actually saw it a few times at least. Ive always wanted to hear one of the girls speak out that left Tom. I'm gonna go get her book now
I recognized you instantly from this documentary about Tom Green. I was schocked. So many young girls with so many children and a "husband" who could not provide for them, but begging others for support. This desert, this loneliness, this waste overall, I was so impressed by your and your other sisterwifes, how you handled this. I am so glad to see you now strong, healthy and you are really an unbelievable interesting woman! Greetings from Germany!
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.
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.
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 remember seeing the documentary years ago and have wondered since then what became of all the lovely women in that family. I am so thrilled that you have made a new life for yourself and your kids!!
I never clicked so fast as when I saw this was Hannah! I’ve watched several documentaries about Tom Green, probably every one that’s ever been made or close to it. Can’t wait to watch this interview.
I’m speechless. I’ve watched the Tom Green documentaries and was always drawn to Hannah. She was so kind and beautiful! I’m so glad she got out and has done amazing things. This is so encouraging and empowering for women. Congratulations Hannah! Needless to say I just bought her book on Amazon. ❤❤❤❤
Having just watched the documentary for the 3rd time, it’s awesome to see How Hannah is doing! All the wives have been in my thoughts since the first time I watched it. I’m so glad she’s doing well. 😊❤
I just watched it for the 2nd time tonight. The first time was a few years ago and I remember wondering what the wives were doing. Hannah was the best looking of all the wives, and I always wondered what happened to her until now. To become a nurse practitioner is AMAZING!
I’m so happy and proud for Hannah! An accomplished woman under average circumstances but an amazing achievement to overcome her past that was put upon her.
I watched the Tom Green docu years ago and often wondered what happened to his wives. I recall how kind Hannah seemed to be and how beautiful she was - as well as her sister. This was so good to see. She has kept all her positive qualities and added to them plus tax.
Thank you so much for interviewing Hannah. I remember her from the days when the Green family was in the media, and I always thought she had such a natural beauty and a genuinely sweet presence. My heart truly ached for her, and for all the women involved, but Hannah’s gentle spirit really stood out to me. It’s so wonderful to see the strong, resilient woman she’s become. I’m genuinely proud of her and all she’s accomplished.
I’m so happy to see that Hannah is doing well after leaving Tom! Amanda Rae did some really good videos on Tom Green, which put me into a rabbit hole where I saw Hannah in a documentary. Truly an inspiring story!
Hannah- Deep respect for you. Your resilience, faith, & strength are beyond inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey. I was moved to tears. (I am also an FNP who became a single mom.) You are so inspiring & beautiful, inside & out. The Lord is with you always!
I remember watching the documentary about this family. Hannah was one of those who made the strongest impression on me. She seemed like innocence it self. So sweet and kind and wanting everyone to be happy and safe. Way to much responsibility for a 14 y.o. I truly hope she is happy today.❤
Oh my gosh - I have been wondering how these girls grew up and how their views must have evolved (or became rather as they were way too young to consent 😡) Can’t wait to watch this!!!
I was watching the documentary just last night and wondered what happened to them because i heard Tom died of covid. Love Hannah. Can't believe this is her. Beautiful!
I remember watching the documentary about their whole family. I'm super happy hannah is doing well she seemed so innocentand just an optimistic person. I'm happy she found herself and the courage to leave
it was today that i watched a video about their family.. i had goosebumps listeing to her talking as a 14 year old trying to defend her husband and i have goosebumps now listeing to this strong, grown up, inspiring woman.

I came here to say that very same thing!
I remember the documentary. I couldn’t get over the extreme poverty and living conditions. Children everywhere.
Shocking
Very hard to provide successfully for each child’s physical,emotional, mental and educational needs. 🙏💕
Same thoughts as well.
Was Hannah the girl who was a runner?

It’s just amazing she found the strength to be who she’s become and do what she’s done.
Good point about how everything was defined by his existence!!!

This is so crazy!! I was friends with Hannah’s younger sister Naomi who ended up marrying Tom Green. I remember going with my friend Naomi to meet all the sister wives and kids. I grew up seeing pictures of Hannah and all the wives and family.
That documentary was the first on polygamy that I ever saw. It was years ago, long before heard about Warren Jeffs etc. I watched it again a few weeks ago. So great to see an interview with one of those girls!
Yep! It was this story that first brought my attention to polygamy!
My first as well.
Ooohhh!
From the UK, I watched the documentary about Tom Green. I'd also seen him on Judge Judy, I felt so sorry for the wives and their children. It was so sad to hear about the little one that passed in the trailer fire.
It so comforting to see that Hannah has not only escaped this lifestyle but is absolutely thriving and loving her life now.
I'm very interested in getting a copy of the book.
This changed me. I cried all the way thru. I remember being a kid and watching donahue and everything. Ive gone thru a lifetime of trauma. Since my son was murdered 5 yrs ago and I stopped living then. My dad is missing now. Its constant stress. Hearing what she said about regret was like someone reaching their hand thru the fog to me. I will be forever grateful.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending you lots of love and prayers from Nashville
Praying for you, may God bless you and your Dad and may Jesus wrap you both in His loving arms.❤
@@homegirl2000 thank you. This started my day great. Bless you have a great safe day!!!!
@@froggynzack thank you so much. This started my day on the right foot bless you thank you
@@OpalandOogum Aww, so glad to share blessings, will keep you in prayers. May God help you be strong!🙏🌞
When we drove through the state of Utah without knowing anything about Mormonism or the state's history, i commented to my husband that i thought it was weird that everyone kind of looked alike. Now i know why! Literally nearly everyone shares DNA.
Just watching this interview, these 3 are all so good-looking! They all hit the DNA jackpot.
You still don't know anything about Mormonism.
No, no, no not every "Mormon" is related. The polygamy groups are entirely on there own because they are not of the LDS group.
I think it has more to do with the surgery they're so fond of. Physical appearance is very important to the women of LDS.
@@kimstout6419 it is a thing in Utah, I agree but not all of us support the plastic surgery thing and are crazy about it.
All the friends and people I hang out with from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are just regular people who live their lives, have one husband, owe wife, kids and live normal lives with no plastic surgeries.
The voices these men hear are demons not God.
Absolutely.
Yup😊
Starting with Joseph Smith.
They are perverts
It's their own ego, that's what they're hearing. Their own selfish ego. It's a power trip for them.
I found “keep sweet pray, obey” on netflix.. so i did some googling.. stumbled upon your channel and MAN. I AM SO HAPPY to see Hannah now!!!! Ive wondered about her for years since watching the Tom Green documentary.
Hannah stood out to me in the documentary I saw on TH-cam, something about her shined. Of course all of the girls seemed lovely but Hannah she really did shine and so very beautiful 🖤
Her shiny eyes, her rosy cheeks, her hair... her image stuck with me too, she had the adoring glaze a child has looking at her dad, I find Tom even more repulsing for that...
@@violatralalaMichelle Duggar
@@tiffprendergast the infamous fundie fawning gaze... Hannah however wasn't trying to look childish to make her husband feel narcisistically satisfied, she WAS a child dealing with her groomer
I think she may have been the one that Tom expressed his sexual desire for when she was wearing a school like uniform dress and appeared to be outside engaging in some innocent young child activity.
I recall seeing this documentary and especially Hannah, who at the time was the youngest wife. I am so sorry for what she went through, but love her independence now❤ a practicing Nurse is some serious schooling! What an amazing accomplishment!! Hannah you should be so proud!!❤
I remember Hannah in that documentary and she celebrated her 18th birthday on the show. I hoped she would break free. She is and was so beautiful, inside and out. ❤
He was a pedo. Preyed on little girls and they lived in hell. I’m glad she got out.
I'm so glad she broke away! That is so hard to do. I was stuck in an abusive marriage. He had his family's support and the church also. I had no support. But I've been free now since 1993! Its a good feeling.
No fucking way. I've never clicked a video faster. I'm so proud of you for speaking out sweet girl!
She is a woman now, she is no longer a child!
Girl= female child
Woman= adult female
☝️☝️👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hannah definitely seemed like the most intelligent and most “normal” and absolutely the most beautiful of the rest of that group. I’m so very glad to hear she escaped and is doing well!!
I remember that Dateline episode. I'm so happy that Hannah took charge of her life and look forward to reading her book. Listening to Hannah talk about healing shows us that she's probably a really awesome nurse!
What an incredible woman. I am so grateful to have stumbled upon this video this morning. I am 37, and going through an identity crisis (I have 8 and 4 year old boys, and a 6 year old daughter and thought being a mama was the most important thing to strive for - and as grateful and blessed as I am to have them, I am now realizing that I completely lost myself and don’t know who I am. Add horrible chronic pain, childhood trauma, etc., and I’m struggling bad!). Thank you for sharing your incredible story and TRIUMPH, Hannah!! I am in awe, and very inspired by your story. I love this life you have created for yourself from complete ash, trauma, abuse, etc. You are so strong, Hannah, and changing so many lives! 💝
I clicked on this faster than any YT video! I watched this documentary about 5 yrs ago & was so worried for all these women but especially for Hannah. She seemed so sweet, innocent & incredibly smart. She deserved better, they all did. I am so happy she found her freedom! 💗
Same here! Clicked on this video in less than a nanosecond!
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.
omg i can't believe this is actually hannah 🙏🙏 ive wondered about the aftermath of that documentary for years and thought that we'd never get to find out what happened to all those girls. so glad hannah is doing well, what an incredibly strong human being! 💗
The Tom Green documentary was terrifying. I remember watching Hannah in it and just hoping she found her way out to a better life. It is so good to see her now. Thank you Hannah for coming in to show us all how amazing you are doing. Many of us worried about that little girl now we don’t have to worry anymore ❤
I remember her on documentaries and the Judge Judy Show back in the day. So happy for her progress.
I am so glad I happened upon this interview. I watched the documentary about Tom Green and his family many years ago. I am ashamed to say that I fell for his lies and the portrayal that they were a happy and well functioning family. It is so sad to find out years later how oppressed and abused all of the wives were. It is wonderful to know that Hannah was able to escape that lifestyle and pursue her dreams and get the education she wanted. I cant wait to read her book!
I found the documentary on YT a few years back. Hannah was always one of the most innocent ones. I had always wondered about each of them and hoped they were well. So glad to see she's done well with her life.
I’m so excited to see Hannah with an update on her life! I remember watching the documentary with her in it years and years ago.
Hannah.. you are amazing! I remember watching the documentary when you were teenager. You stood out as such a beautiful light to me.there was something clearly special about you. I could not make sense of why that was happening to you and it broke my heart. 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. I wish you the very best and always have. ❤️💪🏻
Hannah is one of the most amazing people I've ever met!!
Hannah, if you see this ....I am extremely proud of you!!
Hannah! I always wondered what happened to her. She seemed so sweet and naive in the ancient Ton Green doc. I’m so glad she is put and protecting young women from monsters.
I had to pull over when I realized who you are Hannah in tears I am so incredibly proud and inspired by you I can’t wait to read your book. You are amazing
I remember this documentary. I remember Tom saying he liked to watch her walk. He was so creepy. I’m so happy she got away from all of that.
He wasnt talking abt Hannah but it's still creepy lol
Yes he did
@@tiffprendergast7 he was talking about LeAnne, go watch the documentary
Hannah was always the one i felt for, whenever i watched any coverage. She always looked so happy but she had more in common with the children than the other wives.
Hannah, I hope you read this comment. Thank you for sharing. I am not brave enough to share my sexual trauma, but a lot of what you said resonated with me. At the end of the interview, I saw YOU: the sweet girl who I last saw in that documentary. He didn't take that. I actually think you would also make an amazing counselor. Your depth of compassion is palpable.
Even if you haven’t shared your trama, you are still a strong, brave and intelligent survivor. What happened to you is your truth and don’t let anyone take that away from you. Wishing you the best of luck.
Thank you for Sharing your story. I saw those interviews with Tom Green many years ago and I have thought about and prayed for his wives and children many times. I’m proud of where you are today. I will continue to pray for your family.
Omg I remember her from that doco. She was 14 but she looked 12. It was disturbing. I’m glad she got out.
💗💗This video randomly popped up on my FYP and I’m so glad it did! I remember watching the documentary years ago and the judge Judy episode. Ive thought about Hannah and the other women (and the children) from time to time and I’m so glad to hear she’s thriving. Hannah if you read this, I want you to know how much you have triumphed. Nursing school is incredibly difficult. You picked such a wonderful career but also an incredibly difficult and emotionally/physically taxing. I wish I could give you a hug. From one FNP to another, you’re amazing and I hope you feel so proud of yourself. 💗💗
I just watch this and I can't believe what I am watching... Hannah I am so proud of you having a life you want after previous experience...
The mindset of looking for discomfort and sitting in it and then processing it.....wow! I love that.
I'm so so happy for Hannah. I think because we share a name she really stood out to me in the documentaries and news stories I've seen.... but her sweetness and clear love for her kids really made me want her to thrive!! 🥰❤️🎉 so excited to read her book!!!
If you’re reading, I’m so happy you’re doing well, Hannah!
I just watched the documentary for the second time after a few years and this time it *really* struck, because I just finished the most recent season of Plathville, how Hannah had such a vacant look, almost like her brain had nothing more in it than what she was supposed to parrot back. I’m not saying that she seemed unintelligent, but just had this vacant almost robotic quality when she spoke that was so similar to the way Lydia Plath speaks. And now that is completely gone, and had so clearly been a product of her upbringing/family situation. I feel like it must be a coping mechanism and so happy that it’s not needed in her current life.
I love everything Hannah represents. I’m currently in the RN program and she comes across my mind often when things get hard. ❤
I have always hoped that the women in that documentary had found freedom, health and happiness. I am so so happy that I stumbled on this video, and now I know that Hannah is doing well. What an accomplishment! I'm sure it was very difficult to achieve. All the best to you, Hannah ❤
I just went back to watch the documentary to refresh my memory before watching this, and now I have so many questions that I hope get answered here. But some of them are very specific, so I don’t know that they’ll be addressed. But I am so happy you got Hannah for this interview! 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!
Hannah,
I am SO INCREDIBLY PROUD OF YOU!! Being a Nurse Practitioner is absolutely the best career path I could have ever chosen! 🙏🏻
As for you-- these degree accomplishments have shown you that you indeed COULD overcome the life situation that was placed upon you at such a young age! 💜
I remembered watching a documentary about this. She seemed like she did not belong there and did not fit that mentality. I'm glad she is where she is. It's so inspiring!
I remember the British documentary about "Greenhaven," and Hannah was in it. I'm so glad she got out. How brave!
I just watched the tom green documentary a couple days ago! So happy to see Hannah free and speaking out!❤️ Great interview as always!
I've been fascinated with Tom and his wives since seeing them years and years ago. I always thought Hannah was a special soul in all the documentaries. I'm so happy to see this update and get to hear that she's gotten a life and mission of her own and that she's getting to shine bright in the world. Thank you for this respectful and informative interview. Would love to see more from the wives and children of Tom Green. Sending love and prayers to the three of you!
I watched their documentary years ago & have always wondered how she turned out after all this time. It’s so good to see her thriving & healing ❤
Im in awe of her journey and how she has grown into the beautiful woman she is now! God is amazing.
I remember watching this documentry, actually saw it a few times at least. Ive always wanted to hear one of the girls speak out that left Tom. I'm gonna go get her book now
I recognized you instantly from this documentary about Tom Green. I was schocked. So many young girls with so many children and a "husband" who could not provide for them, but begging others for support. This desert, this loneliness, this waste overall, I was so impressed by your and your other sisterwifes, how you handled this. I am so glad to see you now strong, healthy and you are really an unbelievable interesting woman! Greetings from Germany!
Omfg i have thought about her for years!!!! She was so sweet and i knew she had left Tom Green years back. So thrilled to see this ❤❤
I’m so happy that Hannah got out, and is living her best life with her kids. You go girl! 💪🏻
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.
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.
32:55 - 33:25. Such inspirational words 👏❤️
I don’t know her but I’m so proud of her. What a strong woman
So happy Hannah got out and is living her best life! I remember just feeling awful for her when I watched the documentary.
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 remember seeing the documentary years ago and have wondered since then what became of all the lovely women in that family. I am so thrilled that you have made a new life for yourself and your kids!!
I never clicked so fast as when I saw this was Hannah! I’ve watched several documentaries about Tom Green, probably every one that’s ever been made or close to it. Can’t wait to watch this interview.
Im so happy to see her in a healthy life now ,i wish we knew about her sisters and the others in the family
I’m speechless. I’ve watched the Tom Green documentaries and was always drawn to Hannah. She was so kind and beautiful! I’m so glad she got out and has done amazing things. This is so encouraging and empowering for women. Congratulations Hannah! Needless to say I just bought her book on Amazon. ❤❤❤❤
Having just watched the documentary for the 3rd time, it’s awesome to see How Hannah is doing! All the wives have been in my thoughts since the first time I watched it. I’m so glad she’s doing well. 😊❤
I just watched it for the 2nd time tonight. The first time was a few years ago and I remember wondering what the wives were doing. Hannah was the best looking of all the wives, and I always wondered what happened to her until now. To become a nurse practitioner is AMAZING!
I’m so happy and proud for Hannah! An accomplished woman under average circumstances but an amazing achievement to overcome her past that was put upon her.
WOOOW I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE GOT OUT, I THOUGHT SHE WOULD NEVER GET OUT!!!!! I AM PROUD 🦚🦚🦚🦚 OF HER WOOOOOOOOOW!!!!
I watched the Tom Green docu years ago and often wondered what happened to his wives. I recall how kind Hannah seemed to be and how beautiful she was - as well as her sister. This was so good to see. She has kept all her positive qualities and added to them plus tax.
Wow this is incredible. I watched a documentary about Hannah's polygamist family quite a few years ago. Her transformation is unbelievable!!
Thank you so much for interviewing Hannah. I remember her from the days when the Green family was in the media, and I always thought she had such a natural beauty and a genuinely sweet presence. My heart truly ached for her, and for all the women involved, but Hannah’s gentle spirit really stood out to me. It’s so wonderful to see the strong, resilient woman she’s become. I’m genuinely proud of her and all she’s accomplished.
I’m so happy to see that Hannah is doing well after leaving Tom! Amanda Rae did some really good videos on Tom Green, which put me into a rabbit hole where I saw Hannah in a documentary. Truly an inspiring story!
Hannah- Deep respect for you. Your resilience, faith, & strength are beyond inspiring.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I was moved to tears.
(I am also an FNP who became a single mom.)
You are so inspiring & beautiful, inside & out.
The Lord is with you always!
I have always wondered what happened to her,,, I am so glad she is doing ok
I remember watching the documentary about this family.
Hannah was one of those who made the strongest impression on me. She seemed like innocence it self. So sweet and kind and wanting everyone to be happy and safe. Way to much responsibility for a 14 y.o.
I truly hope she is happy today.❤
Oh my gosh - I have been wondering how these girls grew up and how their views must have evolved (or became rather as they were way too young to consent 😡) Can’t wait to watch this!!!
How were they allowed on a tv show?
How did the tv show not crack this as a crime? Can 14 year olds legally be married? This is all insanity.
I was watching the documentary just last night and wondered what happened to them because i heard Tom died of covid. Love Hannah. Can't believe this is her. Beautiful!
I remember watching the documentary about their whole family. I'm super happy hannah is doing well she seemed so innocentand just an optimistic person. I'm happy she found herself and the courage to leave
Do you know how I can find that documentary?
@@jewelgazer just look up polygamy doc with Tom Green it's from like 20 years ago it was VERY eye opening
it was today that i watched a video about their family.. i had goosebumps listeing to her talking as a 14 year old trying to defend her husband and i have goosebumps now listeing to this strong, grown up, inspiring woman.
Wow I watched that doco many years ago and felt such sorrow for Hannah especially- this was the best to see Hannah strong and independent!
