2 Wives 2 Laws e-bog

Richard Connell is happily married to his wife Kara in 1880 Utah Territory. Then hisMormon ecclesiastical leader calls him to take a second wife, completely scramblinghis world. The shock is multiplied by the choice of who is to become that second wifein acceptance of Gods law. Further complicating his life is the assignment of U.S. Deputy Marshal WilliamBaker Alden to enforce federal anti-polygamy laws by arresting and helping prosecuteoffenders. Aldens task is difficult as Mormons have created all sorts of defenses anddiversions. Among Richards challenges: choose which law to obey, successfully court asecond wife, keep household peace, hide one wife, avoid an apparently inevitableconfrontation with federal law officials. An interesting, personal, historically accurate inside look at Mormon polygamy.
