So I went into this book thinking it would be fantastic, I believe I set it up to be better than it ever could be, but I am not a fan of lyrical prose, wordy for the sense of wordiness! I kept reading because I really kept reading because I thought something was going to happen...it never did. I was very disappointed. Now it didn't take long to read so I didn't waste a lot of time, but there was so much more than could have been done with the storyline. That alone was my hype, but alas I was left to read word upon word taking me nowhere and left me wanting so much more.

An aching story about a woman lost. Amy or Amaranth, finds love in a religious sect as wife number one of fifty. As life in Eden changes with the realization that her first born daughter is carrying a child sired by her husband. She flees with her daughters Amity & Sorrow. On the dusty prairie of Oklahoma where she crashes her car new beginnings sprout.

Amity & Sorrow are aptly named tethered together by more than a strap. A Cain & Able like tale where each will ultimately find their own answers in the Lord.
