Camilla Fox loves her husband. Out of love for him, she left her family and faith to join the Later Day Saints movement so that she could marry him. She has tried to be a good Mormon wife and mother ever since. Then Nathan takes another wife and Camilla decides that she cannot stay any longer. She must leave her daughters until she can find a home for them, but she has to leave and begin building a new life in order to keep her children from growing up in this sect. Set in 1958 Utah, Forsaking All Others, Allison Pittmans sequel to For Time and Eternity, is the compelling story of how one woman travels through the painful journey of breaking free from the Mormon Church lies and deception of plural marriage and all the baggage that goes with it.

When I picked up this book to begin reading, I did not realize that it was a sequel and I had not read the first book in the series. I did not find that to be a problem as the author has done a wonderful job of giving all the information the reader needs in order to read this volume on its own. I found it to be a fascinating tale like no other Christian fiction title I have ever read. It had many unexpected twists and turns that held my interest and I found myself unable to put the book down until I had finished it. Riveting and thought provoking, it not only makes for a good read but brings out important biblical truths as well.

I received this complimentary copy from Tyndale House Publishers for this review. A positive review was not required and the opinions expressed here are my own.
