402pp. Octavo [20.5cm]. Illustrated red cloth over boards. Title stamped in gilt on spine, and white ink on cover. Mild soiling to boards and textblock edges. Residue of attempt to erase prior owner's signature on front pastedown. Textblock beginning to crack between pages 206 and 207. A literary interpretation of the early days of Deseret, the Mormon settlement in Utah. Though the novel features a large cast of characters--both historic and entirely fictional--it focuses on Carissa Graham, a wide-eyed convert to the church. Several issues of early controversy within the LDS church are filtered through the character's progressively disenchanted perspective, including polygamy.
