This is an amazing look behind the scenes of the news clips we saw of the pastel-clad women with swooping hairdos when the Texas authorities took their children into custody. Carolyn Jessop escaped the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints cult not long before their leader moved them to Texas from Utah. Her tale shows how generations of cult members can be trapped in the nightmarish world, convinced that their eternal fate lies in their submission to the current authorities, no matter how crazy their demands. A personal story that leaves a lot of things still unexplained.
