Fantastic adventure!!
This was my car book (the one I keep in the car if I need a book while travelling) and yet I found myself wanting to pull it out of the car to read. I found the characters similar to people in my own life and the situations similar to events in my life as well. I wanted to know how the characters dealt with these situations, within the confines of Navy regulations, as opposed to the way I dealt with my general life.
An engrossing and fully realized story of a young girl who suffers at the hands of her stepmother, yet is able to find solace in books and eventually overcome her harsh physical and emotional abuse. This is an excellent choice for readers who enjoyed "Falling Leaves" by Adeline Yen Mah.
When I started this book, I was dating a Mormon. By the time I ended this book, we had broken up. Though Ostling presents a well-balanced, meticulously researched overview of Mormonism and dispels some of the myths about Mormonism (for example, polygamy), I still found this a tough read. As someone raised without religion, who if anything gravitates towards Buddhism and Krishnamurti, there were parts of the book--on censorship and authority, on blacks, on women--that were hard to stomach, much less believe.
