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. Since leaving
the group in 2003, she has lived in West Jordon, Utah, with her
eight children.
Laura Palmer is the author of Shrapnel in the Heart and
collaborated on five other books, including To Catch a Predator
with NBC's Chris Hansen. She lives in New York City.
“Though Jessop’s circumstances were unusual—and particularly
harrowing—her memoir will appeal to many women who have left
abusive relationships.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Riveting, compulsive reading.”—Elle
“A fascinating story.”—The Washington Post
