Review
"An unforgettable portrait of the unceasing labor, passion and danger of frontier life, recalling the best of Willa Cather." --Los Angeles Times
"Freeman presents ravishing visions of the land, which becomes as much a character in her drama as the people she so vividly conjures . . . Gorgeous and galvanizing." --Newsday "[C]ompelling, vivid writing that is both compassionate and unflinching; Freeman has gotten under the skin of these three very different women and their milieu in a profoundly affecting way." --The Seattle Times "[R]evelatory. . . . [C]reates a vivid, believable picture of the high religious fervor and red-dust-covered hardships of the Utah frontier." --O, The Oprah Magazine "Freeman renders the terrible beauty of this land and the flinty resolve of these people with great skill." --The Washington Post "Captures the mayhem of America's westward expansion . . . An evocative tale of religious brutality and pioneer hardship set against an unforgiving landscape." -Chicago Tribune"Intense, charged with real feeling and electricity . . . Intelligent, complex prose will give readers a chance to reflect on the deeper meanings of love and faith and endurance." -The Oregonian
"Engrossing. . . . Freeman eschews the tributaries of contemporary domestic life for the deeper and darker lake of the past. . . . Unforgettable." -St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"The narrative soars . . . makes astute points about the almost indistinguishable similarities between faith and love." -The New Yorker
"A powerful novel whose three narrators engage us so completely that we absorb their intricate history effortlessly." -BookPage
