| Summary |
On the long journey between England and the U.S. in 1841, Lady Mary Rose Ashley falls in love with Gabriel MacKay. Her grandfather has become a saint, a follower of the new religion founded by Joseph Smith, and he's leaving his wealth and estates for a life in their community. Mary Rose has serious doubts about Mormonism, as does Gabriel, but after witnessing a miracle performed by Brigham Young, they become believers. But even though she has embraced her grandfather's faith in the fledgling church, Mary Rose is overcome with jealousy and a sense of betrayal when the Prophet orders that her beloved husband, Gabriel, take a second wife-- her best friend, recently widowed Bronwyn Carey. This evenhanded, carefully researched treatment of the history of the Latter-day Saints includes a nonjudgmental look at the beginnings of polygamy--Booklist. |
