Have you heard of the Mormons? I first heard of them in medical school- mentioned by my lecturer in the issue of medical ethics because blood transfusion is forbidden in their religion. They are also called the Church of Latter-Day Saints. They have their own prophet, holy book (Book of Mormon) and they occupy a large part of Utah, America.
They also practice polygamy (unlimited wives). This story is about Brother Scott, who was found dead, and his 19th wife, Sister Beckylynn was accused of murdering him. Their son, Jordan, tried to prove his mother's innocence, so he had to dig into his father's dark secrets.
Interestingly, this book also went into the early histories of the Mormons, about their prophet Brigham Young (aka American Moses) and how his 19th wife, Ann Eliza sought divorce from him and later went into a crusade fighting polygamy.
Quite a different book. You get 2 stories, one fiction and another historical, and both give you the inside stories of the Mormons.
