As a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FCLD), Carolyn had no choice but to obey. Over the next fifteen years, Carolyn had eight children and withstood her husband's psychological abuse and the watchful eyes of his other wives, who were locked into a constant battle for supremacy. Miserable for years, Carolyn wanted out, but she knew if she got caught her children would be taken away from her. In 2003, Carolyn finally chose freedom over fear and fled with her eight children.
