About this book

Willa Cather and Sandra Dallas resonate in Barbara K. Richardson's fearless portrait of 1870s Mormon Utah. With "lyrical prose and heartfelt characters" (Publishers Weekly), this lively novel tracks the extraordinary life of one woman who dares resist communal salvation in order to find her own. Clair Martin's dauntless search for self leads her from the domination of Mormon polygamy to the chaos of Reconstruction Dixie and back to Zion where she learns from Shoshone Indian ways how to take her place, at last, in the land she loves.
