pick4✨ This is my first read of this book, and I have to say that it gave me peace many times. If you are familiar with the Holy Bible it has different stories that are based in the America‘s following the same teachings, covenants, and providing hope. I struggled with all the names, and understanding the language. It could be repetitive at times stating the same phrase in many verses. Overall, glad I tried it out.
pickJust Finished this book and I have to say I really enjoyed it. It had some really good mystery as well as some good twist and turns, I would recommend it.

pickCraziness, as in people out of control. A Mormon elder is murdered at his church and all his secrets come out. Linda, the Bishop‘s wife and Curt, the Bishop, find his body. In the process of the duties to the church they become involved in finding the murderer. Lots of action and creepiness, but also a few moments of humor.
pickSome of the writing fell a *smidge* flat, for me. But, I stayed engaged enough that I wanted to finish. The narrative is split between a present-day FLDS plural wife who is charged with her husband‘s murder & her estranged son who tries to solve who-really-done-it & the story of Ann Eliza Young. Both women are the 19th wives. Ann Eliza to Brigham Young himself, & she documented their very public divorce. #ReadingAmerica Utah; February #BookSpin
pick2 timelines: historical fiction about the life of Ann Eliza Young, ex-wife of Brigham Young and campaigner against Mormon polygamy, and a modern mystery where a child of a polygamous marriage sets out to prove that it wasn't his mother who killed his father.
I found both parts compelling. I'd like to know more about the 19thC characters and I would read a mystery series with Jordan as a main character and Johnny and Tom as his sidekicks.
pickMost recent book club pick! This one had been on my list for a long time so I‘m glad I finally got to read it, even if it was… a little hard to read at times ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis is a book club pick and I‘m really looking forward to the discussion next week. It was challenging and difficult to read at times but very interesting- going into the history of Joseph Smith and the Mormon church, the fundamentalists that broke away to pursue polygamy and the abuse & underage marriage that goes along with that.
