My Thoughts:

What I Loved: This book wove Ann Eliza’s 1875 story with a modern-day mystery and it was so great to read. Stories with time-jumps, going between two stories lines of Then and Now, always intrigues me!

How I Felt: I was like a detective trying to figure it all out in this story. The current-time story has a mystery to solve. I also learned so much about the Mormon Church’s history from the timeline of the 19th wife.

To Read Or Not to Read: This a good read with murder mystery to keep you guessing! The historical fiction part with Ann Eliza Young is captivating!
