Domestic life can be tough.  Just ask author CAROLYN JESSOP, a former polygamist and member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or FLDS.  Married at age 18 to a 50-year-old man and his three wives, Jessop endured 15 years of abuse before breaking free from the church with her eight children.  Jessop discusses and signs copies of her book, Escape, an account of her life within FLDS.  Free. 7:15 p.m. Decatur Library, 215 Sycamore St., Decatur. 404-370-3070.  www.dekalblibrary.org.
