Title: Not uplifting - poor sampling of LDS fiction!
Product review: I found Orson Scott Card's book "Saints" (also known as "A Woman of Destiny") to be a poor sampling of LDS fiction. I have read many of Card's books and loved them, but I was very disappointed with this one. The first half of the book tells the story how Dinah Kirkman grew up in England and is VERY depressing. I continued to read the book with the hope that it would get better. It didn't! The story continues about Dinah's polygamous marriage to Joseph Smith then latter to Brigham Young. The story takes a very harsh view on Emma Smith, with her pushing Dinah down the stairs at one point which leads to Dinah's miscarriage of the prophet's son. The intimate relationships were too graphically described, everything from attempted rape to whore houses. Not an uplifting book at all!
