Winner of the 2006 Marilyn Brown Novel Award. The story of a young girl's experience in the Mormon Church's Indian placement program, and its impact on her life as an adult and on her children. The judges called Cope's work "weightier, more ambitious, and more moving than the other entries-a feminine response to Brady Udall's The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint and an achievement akin to Momaday's House Made of Dawn. The work has real gravity. It is bracingly unsparing in its attention to the sheer awfulness and sense of deep cultural and spiritual betrayal and despair in the life of a Navajo-Anglo working-class family here in happy Utah Valley through the last five decades, dealing with the larger problems that the story of such a family reveals for a church that has aspired to enlighten the lives of people of all ethnicities."

"Combining deep emotional candor and spare, elegant prose, Hallstrom's debut novel is a poignant exploration of family, faith, and the ties that bind." -Kathryn Lynard Soper, editor of Segullah: Writings by Latter-Day Saint Women "Bound on Earth is a book in which the reader draws connections to the self; we see our own struggles, betrayals, hard loves, desire. It is a beautiful, honest chronicle of one family's journey through time." -Sheila O'Connor, author of Where No Gods Came and winner of the Minnesota Book Award "[The novel's] language is beautiful and transparent, evocative in its descriptiveness.. Its characters are complex and well-rendered, its ambitions serious and sincere. A compelling exploration of one family's struggles toward intimacy and self-awareness in a world that pulls people asunder, Bound on Earth succeeds on many levels." -Robert Van Wagoner, Utah Arts Council judge and author of Dancing Naked "Angela Hallstrom demonstrates an admirable mastery of the art of fiction. The subtle background to this novel is the Mormon world view, established without preaching or assumptions of superiority. But it presents a far from idealized vision of reality. By moments the members of this extended family writhe with conflict, tension, depression, self-pity, and misbehavior. If there's a lesson to be learned from this novel, it's that the pain and endurance required to create a family are worth it." -Levi Peterson, author of The Backslider and editor of Dialogue magazine

Bound on Earth

Hallstrom, Angela

To Jordan Fairchild, the dark-haired girl renting his basement apartment seems somewhat quiet and reclusive. Just a business arrangement, he thinks, as he watches her sign the name "Nattie Hand" on the contract. Though two thousand miles away, Celeste Betancourt, an attractive Georgetown graduate student he met through a mutual friend, has captured his attention. A budding friendship with Nattie soon begins to bloom. Little does Jordan know his girl-next-door renter is none other than the world-famous pop star, a.k.a. Natalia Antonali, who recently disappeared from the public eye; little does he know how much his friendship will come to mean to her, how, for the first time a love begins to grow, untainted by "Natalia," and how she hopes Jordan never discovers the truth.
