It is 1875 and Ann Eliza Young has recently separated from her powerful husband, Bringham Young, prophet and leader of the Mormon Church. Expelled and an outcast, she embarks on a crusade to end polygamy in the United States. Through her story and other historical accounts, the rich chronicle of her family's polygamous history is revealed, including how she became a plural wife. But alongside Ann Eliza's story, a second e3xquisite narrative unfolds -- a murder mystery involving a plygamist family in present-day Utah. And as the two narratives intertwine, readers are pulled deeper into the mysteries of love and faith.
