This book is awesome, thanks for the reccomendation! I am about 3 quarters of the way through the book, and I can barely put it down, lol, yes he is great. On the plus side, the description of his mannerisms is a lot like my DH, maybe that's why I like him. This book has me enthralled because I am scottish (about 75%)

Escapee -- They are FANTASTIC! My dad's having hip surgery this weekend, and we're stocking him up with all 6 books. The second one (Dragonfly in Amber) took me a bit longer to get through because of all the French politics and my pathetic history background, but it was still a great read. Voyager is one of my all-time favorites, though. Can't tell you why (wouldn't want to spoil it), but it has The Best Scene of the entire series!

The Third Angel by Alice Hoffman She's one of my favorite writers and she's not disappointing me this time.

Hello Everyone. First time poster. Mamie316 did you finish Hold Tight? I'm almost done with it, and love it. Harlen Coben is one of my favorite authors.

I finished World Without End finally. Long book and not light, fluffy reading but very good. Now I wonder if he is going to continue the series and do book 3. I hope so!

Is it really as incestuous as it appears to be?

They do tend to marry from the same families.

That's what I thought. Since they live in groups away from society they have to intermarry.

The men may marry a few sisters in one family. They are often married off to cousins, etc.

My heart goes out to all of the children and most of the women. I say most of the women because my heart does not go out to Barbara, who was the 3rd wife of Merril in the above book. Yeah, one fromer FLDS woman said that 7 of her sisters were taken from her mother and given to her uncle to raise!! So that the bond between mother and child would not be as strong.
