Description
This is the gripping true story of Carolyn Jessop, a woman raised within the secretive Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS). Coerced into a polygamous marriage at eighteen, she endured years of abuse and control, always fearing for her eight children's safety. In a remarkable act of courage, Jessop orchestrated a daring escape with her children, leaving behind a life of religious extremism and subservience. Her flight not only secured her family's freedom but also led to her becoming the first woman to win full custody of her children in a contested FLDS case, and her testimony was instrumental in bringing down the sect's notorious leader.
