An Excellent, Page-Turning Read

This book really kept me interested from the prologue to the final chapter. It was exciting and even made me cry somewhat. Diane Noble (aka Amanada MacLean) is one of my favorite authors, and I reccomment any books by her.

Gripping, heart-stopping, page-turning drama!

Diane Noble's novel "The Veil" is a masterpiece of historical fiction based on grim-but-true historical fact. As you trek across America with this band of pioneers, you'll feel every pebble in your shoe, taste every mouthful of prairie dust, and grieve with every disappointment these characters face as they journey toward their inevitable fate. And yet, despite the sorrow, there is a shining redemption that comes through in "The Veil." Only Diane Noble could find hope and glory in such a story, and bring it to life with such dramatic detail. In a word...I loved it!

A terrible, true page from history!

Diane Noble has written a riveting book about a powerful and disturbing historical event. Anyone interested in the Mormon Church should read this book--everyone should read this book! Highly recommended.

A Gripping Novel from Page One

Diane Noble's THE VEIL is a magnificent story, very compelling and even sometimes painful to read. Including atrocities done by the early Mormons, its much more than that. It is a history lesson, a story of faith, a story of strength and perseverence and a love story. Well written and inspiring, it is a must read for anyone who likes stories with strong women characters. I'm looking forward to more stories like this from this author.

A captivating and enlightening reading experience!

In "The Veil," Diane Noble gives her readers a much-needed history lesson on a little-talked about episode in American history. Noble enlightens readers about the past practices and present-day beliefs of the Mormon faith. She gives Christian readers a more thorough understanding of the hows and whys of the Mormon beliefs, while thoughtfully introducing readers to God's real, saving grace.
