“I, of course, cherish my freedom, but I shall never want my freedom to restrict the freedom of another. In that case then I am not truly free, and none of us is truly free.”
It is 1875, and Ann Eliza Young has recently separated from her powerful husband, Brigham Young, prophet and leader of the Mormon Church. Expelled and an outcast, Ann Eliza embarks on a crusade to end polygamy in the United States. A rich account of her family’s polygamous history is revealed, including how she and her mother became “plural wives.”
Soon after Anne Eliza’s story begins, a second exquisite narrative unfolds, a tale of murder involving a polygamist family in present-day Utah. Jordan Scott, a young man who was expelled from his fundamentalist sect years earlier, must reenter the world that cast him aside to discover the truth behind his father’s death. As Ann Eliza’s narrative intertwines with that of Jordan’s search, readers are pulled deeper into the mysteries of love, family, and faith.
Read Alikes for The 19th Wife: The Lonely Polygamist by Brady Udall; Amity & Sorrow by Peggy Riley; The Chosen One by Carol Lynch Williams; The Fire and the Ore by Olivia Hawker; Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer; Wife No. 19 by Ann Eliza Young
