Do you wonder how a woman can be torn in her love for a man
and at the same time dealing with a higher calling that has been put to her?
Have you ever been intrigued about the Mormon faith and how families deal with
the relationships within a polygamous marriage?
In “The Sister Wife,” by Diane Noble, Mary Rose Ashley falls in love and
marries Gabriel MacKay on the ship he built and designed, traveling from
England to the New World. They make their way to a Mormon settlement in
Illinois when Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon faith, receives his vision about polygamy. Mary is torn as
she wants to follow her calling, but as a woman has feeling and doubts about
what she is asked to accept. This is the first book in the “Brides of Gabriel,”
series by award winning author Diane Noble.
