![]() ![]() The story Carolyn Jessop tells is so weird and shocking that one hesitates to believe a sect like this, with 10,000 polygamous followers, could really exist in 21st-century America. Jon Krakauer, Author of Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith (also about the FLDS), says:Įscape provides an astonishing look behind the tightly drawn curtains of the FLDS Church, one of the most secretive religious groups in the United States. Jessop is the author of Escape, the first-person account of life inside an ultra-fundamentalist American religious sect, and one woman’s flight to freedom with her children. Since leaving the group in 2003, she has lived in West Jordan, Utah, with her eight children. Carolyn Jessop was born into the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a group splintered from and renounced by the Mormon Church, and spent most of her life in Colorado City, Arizona, the main base of the FLDS. ![]()
