Would you want to share your husband with another woman - especially one who becomes his wife as well?
Forsaking All Others by Allison Pittman follows the theme of the topic of the faiths of other religions, such as the Mormons and the Amish. This book focuses on Mormonism, which has gained considerable attention following the TV show Sister Wives, and centers on Camilla Fox, who disagrees with her family's faith and leaves them. On her journey, she has a terrible accident and loses her memory. She meets Colonel Charles Brandon. She regains her memory slowly, remembering the children she left behind to flee the faith. Tragedy strikes, and she returns to her family to confront them and reconcile with her family.
This deals with maternal abandonment, including the question - what about when the mother does something for herself to save the family that leads to the abandonment - betrayal, love, true love, beliefs, the clash of different beliefs, and reconciliation.
A fascinating book by Pittman and a terrific plot, and another look at the Mormon faith through the women who find themselves married to a man who marries multiple wives, and he is no longer their own, but community property.
Praying you have Faith, Love, and Hope,
