Summary: Wonderful book!
Review: I found this book in my school library and thought it looked really good. So, I checked it out, went home, and started to read. I read that thing in 3 days and my mom had to pry me away from this book every night just so I would do my homework. It was the best book I have ever read. I recommended this book to all my friends and after I just told them the story line they all wanted to borrow it! So, I would definitely recommend it to you.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Disappointing Read
Review: I've read many Bethany House novels and enjoyed them all, but I found this book to fall way below my expectations. The plot seemed interesting at first, but it soon became clear that Marian Wells, though well-meaning she may be in regards to portraying "Mormons" accurately, falls well short of the mark. The information she claims to be well-researched is not. The book seems to be about 40% plot, 5% truth, and 55% speculation. Sadly, many people will take her conjecture as truth.

Rather than a good Christian novel, as I have come to expect from Bethany House Publishers, this novel was used as a platform for tearing down the Mormon Church by providing misinformation, half-truths, and out-and-out lies. I've come to expect more of Bethany House. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One woman's spiritual conflicts
Review: This book is great for anyone trying to sort out spiritual questions. It is exciting and well-written, and has a factual historical base. I am glad the author was willing to investigate this topic with historical accuracy, instead of popular opinion.

Summary: A Disappointing Read
Review: This book made me cry. I couldn't put it down because I couldn't wait to find out what happened to Becky. She went through so much. What a tough girl. It was awesome to follow her through her journey from darkness to light. I recomend this book to everyone.

Summary: The wedding dress...
Review: This was a very well researched book, though at times was a little too drawn out and stuffed with facts. I really enjoyed the story and learned alot in regards to how these women felt and how some could feel trapped in a time and religion where there was often no choice.
