The Leah Shadow

In the early days of the Mormon Church, the now-repudiated principle of polygamy, though misunderstood and occasionally abused, was sanctioned by divine decree, as it was during Old Testament epochs. Leah and Rachel, famous among polygamous women, claimed unequal shares of Jacob, later dubbed Israel. Leah, the less favored, casts along shadow... Catherine and Sheila must make peace with their situation and find reconciliation in love for John Glendrake, their husband, and for each other. From Utah to Mexico, frontier challenges follow these stubborn, beleaguered, fascinating... and endearing characters. Adventure, occasional misadventure, devotion, tenderness, human dignity and understanding, with occasional misunderstanding, pulse through the narrative. A compelling read.
