Textul de pe ultima copertă

What if the man you loved told you God wanted him to take another wife? What if that woman was your best friend?
Set in the heart of the earliest days of a new nineteenth-century sect known as the Saints, The Sister Wife is a riveting account of two women forced into a practice they don't understand, bound by their devotion to Prophet Joseph Smith. When Mary Rose marries Gabriel, neither of them could foresee how quickly the community would turn to the practice of plural marriage. Devastated when Gabe is faced with an order from the Prophet to marry her best friend, Bronwyn, Mary Rose tries to have the faith to carry through with the marriage. But can she really be married to the same man as her very best friend? Can Mary Rose and Bronwyn face betraying both their husband and their God to do what they feel is right?

Recenzii

“Diane Noble not only explores the early days of the Mormon church; she also probes deeply into the human heart... the pages turn faster and faster…right up to the breathless conclusion and the promise of more drama to come.” — Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Thorn in My Heart
“Diane Noble is at her best in The Sister Wife. I found myself transported by the richness of her words, the authenticity of her research and the depth of her spirit. Well done!” — Jane Kirkpatrick, award-winning author of An Absence So Great
“The first book in the Brides of Gabriel series introduces us to the foundation of polygamy in Mormonism. A well-researched, gripping story written with depth of emotion, it tactfully illustrates different belief systems and explores plural marriage without sensationalizing it.” — Romantic Times BOOKclub
Praise for The Veil: “Prepare to burn the midnight oil. I couldn’t put this book down. The Veil revealed a shocking early Mormon practice.” — Francine Rivers, New York Times bestselling author
“The Sister Wife is the first in Noble’s Brides of Gabriel series, which, given the popularity of Big Love—the HBO television drama about a fundamentalist Mormon family in Utah—should be a big hit with readers.” — Booklist
