The Sister Wife by Diane Noble

Mary Rose marries Gabriel after a whirlwind romance aboard ship on the way to America. Also on the ship was Brigham Young along with some of the first Saints to settle in America. Caught up in the charisma of Joseph Smith, Mary Rose, Gabriel and their friends Bronwyn and her husband Griffin, follow the group to Nauvoo, Illinois where the attitude of other Americans is less than friendly towards the Mormans. Noble writes a good tale, following closely the actual history of the Morman trek across the United States and the teachings of Joseph Smith and then Brigham Young. I am looking forward to reading book two. Sandy Penton.
