As Jordan attempts to free his mother, I learned a lot about the current church and the sects of believers called the Firsts who still believe in polygamy. Jordan's mother is a true believer who left Jordan on the side of a highway when he was fourteen because he held a girl's hand though he later realized he was gay, so he was on a countdown out the door anyway. The book splits between a current story about a young man, Jordan, whose mother has been arrested for the murder of her polygamous husband, and letters, journals, etc about the story of Ann Eliza Young, Brigham Young's infamous 19th wife. ![]() What an interesting book! Aside from genealogy, I don't know much about the Church of Latter-Day Saints, so I was doing a lot of research on the side as I read. ![]() ![]() ![]() This book is full of fascinating historical research, and explores the common arguments over where soul food came from.

The Seed Underground: A Growing Revolution to Save Food by Janisse Ray For those worried for the state of our plants in a changing world: ![]() ![]() ![]() I had hoped we had embarked on a deliberate voyage."I have not read a Courtney Milan book that I haven't enjoyed so yesterday when I was in the mood to read a good romance book I decided to start a series from her that I haven't read yet. "I do believe we are straying into the improper," she said."Oh, no," he contradicted. ![]() Still, it's not overly emphasized here and doesn't take away from my overall enjoyment of the book. Learning disabilities are a real thing but it seems sometimes the entire Ton suffered from one type or another. ![]() These loyalties clash with their own relationship, testing loyalties against their love.There's a subplot with Ash's competence and education which, quite honestly, I'm just tired of in historical romances. Much of the drama resides in Ash's relationship with his brothers and Margaret's with her own siblings. The current Duke is bedridden, nursed by his daughter Margaret who assumes a different identity in order to derail Ash's plans.Ash is stubborn and brash which at times made me not like him so much, but Margaret is a strong woman who stands up to him.

At first one loves that kind of talk, but then one realizes she really means it. All of Rand's themes that pop up in her other books, pop up within this short book. Love at first sight is the only love she seems to recognize, equality is bad and liberty (freedom) is the only pure good, the ego rules supreme, our lives must have work in order to be happy, and a variation of the Galtism "I swear by my life and love of it, that I will never sacrifice for another and neither expect some one to do the same for me". The story is only there to bring out Rand's absolutist (Objectivism) worldview. Sure there's something about a light bulb, and a street cleaner and other odds and ends that unfold in a Spartan like world similar to what Plato laid out in his Republic. ![]() ![]() ![]() I am the daughter of Pope Urban X, and of the Princess of Palestrina.” ![]() “I had not always bleared eyes and red eyelids neither did my nose always touch my chin nor was I always a servant. “…do you believe the Pope to be Anti-Christ?” – Harper Lee, Candide Quotes with page number “Begone, rogue begone, wretch do not come near me again.” ![]() – Harper Lee, Candide Quotes with page number Protestant Minister “…there’s a big difference, for free will. “But a wise man, who since has had the misfortune to be hanged, taught me that all is marvelously well these are but the shadows on a beautiful picture. “If this is the best of possible worlds, what then are the others?” “Cunégonde is dead!
