Book Review of Forsaking All Others (Sister Wife, Bk 2)

Forsaking All Others (Sister Wife, Bk 2)
reviewed on + 63 more book reviews


This is the second book in the series, and although it dragged some in the middle, I still found it exciting and well-written.

Not able to handle having a sister-wife, and a husband who has no idea how to be a caring husband to two wives, the story continues with the wife running away without her children, and eventually attempting to gain custody of them.

If you are looking for a series about a successful pologamy family, this will NOT be your book. The story is about how one women, in the 1800's is blindsighted by a chasmatic young man and marries into the Mormon faith not realizing the differences between Christianity and Mormanism.

The first book leaves off when Camillia leaves her husband and children after he marries a second wife.

This book picks up with her traveling back to her parents home by stagecoach, and eventually attempting to gain custody of her children. The history of the Mormon/United States war was detailed and accurate, with Camilla requiring the services of soliders from the US Army to help keep her safe. Extremely interestering.
