    About this ebook

    The Sister Wife is the first book in a new Brides of Gabriel historical series set during the formation of the Mormon edict of polygamy. Award-winning author Diane Noble explores the inner conflicts, emotions, and decisions of three women married to the same man. A moving tale of faith and doubt, love and commitment for fans of Big Love or those who devoured Carolyn Jessop’s Escape, The Sister Wife follows a budding family living in close community with the controversial Mormon prophet Joseph Smith as they are pulled deeper into the world of polygamy.

      This was a well written story that dealt with the early days of the Mormon church. A story of one woman's struggle to deal with her love for her family and learning to accept those things of her religion that she knows in her heart are not right. Mary Rose finds herself thrust into the sect known as the "Saints" when her and her grandfather set sail for the Americas. On board she meets and falls in love with and marries Gabe and together they both start out as new members of this sect, seeking to obey its leaders. On board Mary Rose also meets and becomes best friends with Bronwyn and her husband and child.Now what should Mary Rose do when her best friends husband has died and your husband is told to take another wife, your best friend. Can Mary Rose really be married to a man she loves with all her heart, and have her best friend also married to this same man? The battle and conflicts she faces are very real to her, but I must say that this story angered me and left me just shaking my head at how sad these people are and how deceptive people can be. The author did a great job of making these folks seem like real people who are trying their hardest to stay true to their sect. The men that led this group of people will some day have to give an account to a holy and righteous God on how they distorted God's holy word and tried to be as important as God to these people. It was so sad to read this story, but so well done that I had a hard time putting it down; I kept hoping that Mary Rose would leave these people. There are more books in this series, but I will be honest with you, I don't know if I can read more of this family without getting really mad at the foolishness of accepting a lifestyle that is wrong for so many reasons.

      Lady Mary Rose Ashley and her Grandfather, the Earl of Salisbury, are travelling from England to America; following their new religious leader, Joseph Smith to a new life. The Earl is convinced that Smith is a true prophet, but Mary Rose is unsure. She meets Gabe MacKay and they fall in love on the ship and ask the captain to marry them. Gabe is also unsure about following Smith and his beliefs. Smith has hired a young woman and her husband (Bronwyn and Griffin) to attend to Lady Ashley and the Earl's needs while on ship. Bronwyn is pregnant and soon goes into labor. The child is breach and it looks like mother and child will die. Joseph Smith enters the room, lays his hands on mother and child, and it seems that a miracle has occurred. The child has turned and Bronwyn has no more trouble with the birth. Both survive and Gabe and Mary Rose take this as a sign from God that Joseph Smith is a true prophet. As Gabe and Mary Rose try to live their lives as Saints, Smith's pronouncement that the Disciples should have many wives and orders Gabe to marry Bronwyn (who's husband has died), once again causes Mary Rose to question Smith as a prophet.

      I have been wanting to read this book after reading the book description. I would classify this as a historical romance. The book jumps around a bit and for some reason that was a problem for me. There were characters who were minor and I would almost forget about them only to have them reappear. Maybe these characters will play more important roles in the next books in the series. There had to be a reason for them to be mentioned. I felt very disconnected frm the characters yet I wanted to know what was going to happen to them. I am not very familiar with the history of the Mormon Church and polygamy so I cannot say if it is an accurate account. I certainly hope not. I didn't hate the book but didn't love it either. However, I will more than likely read the next installment as it ended as a bit of a cliffhanger. Hopefully when I read the next book it will all make more sense.
