This is fictional so it portrays lds men as lustful polygamists who are dishonest and domineering. I know there are always going to be people who don't live a principle in the spirit it was given or under the direction of the Lord and give things a bad name. Many of the rlds reformation of the church and other groups of people continued to live polygamy and just chose wives it wasn't a call from the Lord and it was defiled in a way. Sandra is a great story teller and skilled writer and went to work to get history timeliness right but is for sure bias in her opinion as to how the saints lives played out I believe. For the true stories which some are still hard to read but nevertheless factual read Saints a 4 volume book series written by church historians its wonderful.
