very good

I like to read how other women live other than the life that I live.

The Sisterhood

This book is very good for people who don't know about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or are investigating the Church. There is a handy glossary of terms used by members of the Church that other Christian groups or members of other religions would not understand, but are commonly used by "Mormons". The cover mistakenly implies that this book is about young women. The book relates Church history and ties the history of the Utah Pioneers to modern day living. The author speaks about the "Mormon culture" in Utah. However, this culture is worldwide, just not "Out West" or "Back East". Linda G. in Maryland

I loved it!

I loved the reality of this book. I enjoyed the peeks into the author's history, the stories she shares from her experiences and the countless numbers of other women. I was inspired by stories of modern women as well as women in the early church and I was educated by the history shared. I've had misconceptions and questions about aspects of this religion (my religion) and this book inspired me to search more completely for the answers. I loved it and would highly recommend it. It was food for thought and inspiration to study!
