Love the One You're With
Emily Giffin
St. Martin's Press, 2008
4.5 stars
+ My Book Review

The 19th Wife is a wonderful and fascinating book about the affects of plural marriages on the family structure. I loved this book and would highly recommend to other readers.

Crippled Dreams & Love and Madness
David Rehak
CreateSpace, 2008
long-ago settings, timeless themes
These two novels in one now re-published are already separately reviewed a bunch of times, probably far more effectively than I ever could manage, but I just wanted to add one thing.
