I found this book hard to read at first. I understood that the author was telling Ann Eliza's story in the 1800's and Jordan's story in the present. Both stories tell of the effects of polygamy on the women and children. Jordan was kicked out of his home and left on the highway and had to learn to survive on his own. He returns when his mother is arrested for the murder of his father. Ann Eliza is a real woman who left her marriage to Brigham Young, wrote a book about her life, and lectured about polygamy. Her story is told through a fictionalized version of her book and this is where I was confused at the beginning of the book. Its a long book and interesting but I liked Jordan's story better.
