reviewed on + 33 more book reviews


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.
