True believer or brainwashed?
For years, Carolyn Jessop has been making the rounds of talk shows, peddling her story of fleeing the FLDS polygamists. Her book "Escape," which chronicles her life as a plural wife, is on its way to becoming a movie starring Katherine Heigl.

Now, her daughter Betty Jessop is going to tell a very different story — this one of how she left her mother and the "normal" world, with its Santa Claus Christmases and casual profanity, and returned to the FLDS as soon as she turned 18.
I just couldn't deny what was in my heart -- my belief in my religion and my love for my father and my family. I spent four years [in mainstream society] and there is nothing there for me.
Carolyn Jessop gives a different reason for her daughter's return to the FLDS: Betty is brainwashed.

Perhaps Heigl should buy the option on Betty's book, just in case she needs a sequel.
