Description
Heaven's Wildfire is a frank, provocative novel of the Idaho territory from 1860 to 1890 when a small pocket of Mormons stubbornly held onto their bizarre marriage code, defying all attempts by the law to force them to conform to the one-man-one-wife philosophy. For over 30 years the controversy plagued Idaho, preventing statehood, turning neighbor against neighbor and family against family. With zealots on both sides piling fuel on the flames, women were caught in the cross-fire. No one has told the story of those noble, altruistic, naive, frustrated, rebellious, or angry women until now. Although the town of Wildfire and all of the characters are fictitious, many of the events have a parallel in history. - from Amzon
