Product Description
It is 1875, and Ann Eliza Young has recently separated from her powerful spouse, Brigham Young, prophet and leader of the Mormon Church. Expelled and an outcast, Ann Eliza embarks on a campaign to end polygamy in the United States. A rich account of her family tree’s polygamous history is revealed, including how both she and her mother became plural wives. Yet soon after Ann Eliza’s tale starts, a second exquisite narrative unfolds–a tale of murder involving a polygamist family tree in present-day Utah. Jordan Scott, a young man who was thrown out of his fundamentalist sect years earlier, must reenter the world that cast him aside in order to learn the truth behind his father’s death. And as Ann Eliza’s narrative intertwines with that of Jordan’s search, readers are pulled deeper into the mysteries of like, family tree, and faith.

I had high hopes for this book, but find that it was full of cussing and sex. Two things polygamy is not. Polygamy is fantastic like for family tree and God. The tales people write about in the news is not the real thing, only fiction. Just because one guy does it that way doesn’t mean all live like that.

Wow! No one seemed to like my last review! Let me try again! I did NOT like this book AT ALL! It was dull, had horrible language, took me forever to make it through and I got very tired of how it jumped back and into the world between two tale lines. The whole gay storyline just had to be thrown in there too! I can see two books being made rather than incorporating both tale lines into one.
Different parts in the book were entertaining, but many certainly border on whether they are truly factual or not. I personally judge he is trying to shed a negative light on mormonism and Brigham Young.
I would NOT refer this book to anyone and am very, very sad that I really paid excellent money for it and read some of the stuff I did. I just don’t judge there is a lot of truth within his storylines.
Don’t buy it!

Booth’s Sister follows their turbulent childhood and examines how he turned into an assasin while she was accused of being his co-conspirator.
