Junior in terms of both age and pecking order, Annie Young didn’t much like the gig she renounced life as a plural wife and broke from the church to publish a book about the horrors of polygamy. He juxtaposes the world of modern polygamous families down on the remote Utah-Arizona line with the life of a junior wife of 19th-century Mormon patriarch Brigham Young. Ebershoff ( Pasadena, 2002, etc.) takes a promising historical premise and runs with it-perhaps a couple of dozen pages too long.
