Synopsis

Brigham married one woman too many wwhen he took Ann Eliza Webb as his twenty-seventh wife. He was the leader of the polygamous Mormon faith, as powerful in the Utah Territorry as the President of the United States. She was a great beauty with a quiet manner--and an iron will.

For four years, Eliza lived in Brigham Young's harem as his twenty-seventh wife. Then, one summer morning, she walked out, deserting her husband and suing him for a divorce.

The saga of Ann Young's brave fight for liberation is not only a landmark in the history of women's rights, but also a thrilling story.
