Carolyn Jessop spent most of her life inside the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints before escaping in 2003 with all eight of her children. Her first book, Escape, describes what daily life looked like inside the FLDS community and the events that led her to risk everything to leave. The account is direct and personal, covering her arranged marriage at eighteen, the power dynamics within the group, and the night she finally drove away.

Her second book, Triumph, picks up where Escape left off. It follows Jessop through the difficult process of building a new life outside the community, including custody battles and adjusting to a world she had little preparation for. Together the two books offer a complete picture of both life inside and the long road out of a closed religious group.
