Escape

I've almost finished reading "Escape" by Carolyn Jessop for Book Club. It's Jessop's story about escaping a polygamous marriage and the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints. She was able to escape this cult-like "church" with her 8 children. This book chronicles the horrifying events of physical and emotional abuse that occur in this community.

Dear Darling and I have been talking about the recent news articles that, once again, bring these issues to our attention. It's difficult to believe this abuse is happening in the Land of the Free.

Book Club meets in a couple of weeks and we'll have much to discuss. I hope the nation has much to discuss after reading about this, too.
