Hi -

I am going to ask for some help identifying a book for a trustee -
this is what she knows about the book-

Three Mormon women figure in the story. It is written by an ex-Mormon
woman author. My trustee read about it in a newspaper recently so odds
on it is relatively new. She is not sure if it is fiction or nonfiction.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Might it be Red Water by Judith Freeman? I have no idea if she is or was a
Mormon herself, but it is a recently reviewed novel and it is written from
the perspective of three Mormon women, who are among the 19 wives of John
D. Lee.

Saw this in the February BookPage just the other day:
RED WATER, a novel by Judith Freeman.
For reasons that history never fully explains, a group of Mormon settlers,
aided by Indian allies, massacred an entire wagon train of non-Mormon
immigrants in Southwestern Utah in 1857.

My summary: John D. Lee, executed by firing squad, had 19 wives. The story
is told from the
viewpoint of 3 of them: Emma, Ann & Rachel; by an author raised in a large
Mormon family.

Cathy, I think you might be looking for the book Red Water by Judith
Freeman. It's a historical novel about the Mountain Meadow Massacre and it
is told by three of the nineteen wives of John D. Lee, ultimately executed
for the murders. Published in 2001.
