Elizabeth Smart Writing Memoir

Photobucket

Ten years after she was abducted, Elizabeth Smart is penning a memoir about the nine months she was held, often in chains, and raped almost daily.

Now married and a senior at Brigham Young University, Smart, 25, is co-writing her story with Chris Stewart, a Utah Congressman-elect.

"She has taken a professional outlook on this and is able to talk in an impressive way about these things frankly," Stewart said.

"She is not shying away from this story."

Very awesome.

I mean, there are people like that in the church as well-- but most of the girls end up just being housewives. They seem happy with that though, so good for them I suppose. I just can't imagine being that way at all.

I'm glad my mom's always been supportive of me being different and wanting more in life. haha.

I live with two Mormons, both younger than me (I'm 26) and marriage/dating is all they seem concerned with. It makes me sad as someone who's pretty devoted to her career/has a MA/doesn't want her life to revolve around a husband.
