Escape

Escape
by Carolyn Jessop with Laura Palmer

This is definitely a haunting story of one woman's life within the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints, a polygamist sect. From Carolyn Jessop's arranged marriage to a much older man, through her trying to cope with life in an abusive home environment with 5 other wives and many, many children, to her daring and dangerous escape from the church community, this is a book I couldn't put down. It does have some graphic descriptions of violence, psychological and sexual abuse and may not be for those of more "delicate sensibilities”.
