“Well done. The book switches between 2 points of view - a modern-day FLDS family who is struggling with an apparent murder, and the diary of a 19th-century Mormon wife who experiences the founding and travel of the early Mormon church. It's a fascinating look at both LDS history and the problems with the modern-day Fundamentalist LDS organization, known from the news as the polygamists. If you're interested in the subject, "Under the Banner of Heaven" is a great nonfiction look at the same subject. ”
