«Escape» is the autobiography by Carolyn Jessop and Laura Palmer, published by Viking in 2007 in paperback (432 pages, in English).
Carolyn Jessop grew up in the 10,000-person polygamous community in Arizona, the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. At 18 she was forced to marry a 50-year-old man; she was his fourth wife and had eight children in 15 years. The book recounts her escape from the sect and how her testimony brought Warren Jeffs, its leader, to justice.
For readers of memoirs, real-life testimonies and accounts of cults, with an interest in the phenomenon of polygamy in the United States.
