I read this book when it was called "A Woman of Destiny." I've read that it was pushed then as a romance novel, but its scope is far greater than that. I was raised a Mormon and have been very interested in Mormon history, theology, and sociology. I can understand how many LDS/CJC members would feel threatened by Card's portrayals, but I personally found them very humanizing and revealing of the everyday reality of life in a new religious community. A warning: One of my friends read this at my recommendation during our internship and was disappointed when she finally realized that it was actually fiction (the chapter introductions can lead you to think that the author is actually tracing his family's history). However, this is, to my mind, very good historical fiction that is all the more convincing by having been written by a great storyteller who is also a Mormon and who also is not afraid to deal with moral issues (including religion and, in this case, polygamy) at a deeply personal level and yet within the sweep of history. I highly recommend this book to anyone in or out of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
