Amoret: A Tale of Mormons, Polygamy and Forgiveness

by Kathy McClure

Overview

My Mormon grandmother, Amoret Eliza Draper died when she was 28 leaving behind four small children. Her short journey took her from farm to city and from love to abandonment as she struggled to understand the changing landscape of her life. Through books & letters, poetry & gardens and the dark secret her father wouldn't share, Amoret discovers the meaning of sorrow and strength, betrayal and hope. In a time and place where women were voiceless, in her darkest hour of despair, she finds a journal and learns her father's secret and a way forward to redemption.
