Jessica Roy

Jessica Roy is a journalist and former digital director at Elle. Her work focuses on nonfiction, and she has written extensively about the Sally sisters' story in her book 'American Girls.' The narrative of Sam and Lori Sally, raised as strict Jehovah's Witnesses before abandoning their faith and marrying a pair of Moroccan-born brothers, became radicalized by online propaganda. Roy leverages this dramatic tale to explore the pull between resentment and forgiveness, as well as the motives behind our behavior that often remain opaque. She also delves into Sam's complicity in criminal wrongdoing and her shifting reasons for actions, from being an 'idiot' who made terrible mistakes to an abused spouse forced by Moussa to go to Syria.
