Description

The remarkable first-person account of life in a ultra-fundamentalist National spiritual sect, and one woman’s brave trip to freedom with her eight children.When she was eighteen years old, Carolyn Jessop was forced into an arranged marriage with an overall total stranger: a guy thirty-two years her senior. Merril Jessop currently had three wives. But organized dual relationships were an intrinsic section of Carolyn’s history: She was created into and raised in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), the significant offshoot of the Mormon Church that had settled in small towns across the Arizona-Utah line. Within the next fifteen years, Carolyn encountered her husband’s mental mistreatment and had eight kids and the careful eyes of his other wives who have been locked in a continuing fight for supremacy.Carolyn’s every move was determined by her husband’s vagaries.
