really liked it

OH MY GOODNESS! As usual it is hard to tell if a woman that would leave her children for the LDS is church is extremely faithful or just plain crazy. I loved this book, but was also really bothered at times, that is why it gets 4 instead of 5 stars. I don't think reading Escape by Carolyn Jessop right before this was helpful. The whole polygamy thing gets us all, but while at times I've chosen to ignore it, I think it is really powerful to read a story, even if fictional about the women that endured it. I love Emma Smith and while in this book she is definitely not the heroine, Card has a much different version imagined than the movie "Emma Smith - my story" portrays. Of course the movie skirted right over polygamy and Emma leaving the church. I could go on forever.... Alas, I will take a break from religious matters and head into Gothic Literature.

Does anyone think that Dinah might be based on Eliza Snow?
