Resolution

Eliza and Anna are a generation apart in age but are bound together by polygamy and the control of their husband, Joseph Brown. When Anna, the young second wife, wants to break free from her abusive marriage, it is only her sister wife who can make that possible.

Joseph Brown is the proud, strong-willed patriarch of his family in the new Mormon Zion. When his wife, Eliza, falls into a suicidal depression after the birth of her eighth baby, Joseph brings home fourteen-year-old Anna to live with them as a mother's helper. Joseph is drawn to the beautiful teenager and within months makes her his second wife. Eliza is devastated but has no power to oppose her husband. The women build a difficult new relationship as sister wives who must share everything, until Joseph is imprisoned for polygamy and Anna must go into hiding. Separated from Eliza and Joseph, Anna yearns to live beyond the confines of her life, especially when her feelings for a young horse doctor move beyond friendship

About the Author
Wadsworth, Amy: - Amy Wadsworth grew up in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley, just a few houses away from the tall pink house her polygamist great-great grandfather built. From birth, she was raised on the stories that came from her Mormon pioneer roots, most of them revealing the darker natures of her mother's lineage. Upon her retirement from a long career in education, she began her first novel, Resolution, based on the titillating scandal of her great-great grandfather's second wife. As Amy researched her family's letters, journals and records, she searched for the details that would put all the pieces together and ultimately answer the question of what really happened.
