"A remarkable odyssey of the American West..."--MOLLY GLOSS
A misfit in a Mormon frontier town in 1870s Utah, protagonist Clair Martin shows what polygamy feels like from inside the fold. Her stubborn search for identity takes Clair and a small band of mavericks--white, black and Shoshone--beyond the confines of the Utah Territory to the slums of Reconstruction Dixie, and back again. Here, one young woman's life becomes a quiet revolution to untangle what she's inherited from what she really needs.Author Biography
