“Diane Noble is at her best in The Sister Wife. I found myself transported by the richness of her words, the authenticity of her research and the depth of her spirit. Well done!” - Jane Kirkpatrick, award-winning author of An Absence So Great
“Diane Noble not only explores the early days of the Mormon church; she also probes deeply into the human heart. As Mary Rose and Gabriel travel from the shores of England to the heartland of America, swept up in the religious fervor of the Saints, the pages turn faster and faster…right up to the breathless conclusion and the promise of more drama to come.” - Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Thorn in My Heart
“The first book in the Brides of Gabriel series introduces us to the foundation of polygamy in Mormonism. A well-researched, gripping story written with depth of emotion, it tactfully illustrates different belief systems and explores plural marriage without sensationalizing it.” - Romantic Times BOOKclub
“The Sister Wife is the first in Noble’s Brides of Gabriel series, which, given the popularity of Big Love—the HBO television drama about a fundamentalist Mormon family in Utah—should be a big hit with readers.” - Booklist
“This story digs deep into the actual practices, emotions, and religious struggles that these travelers experienced on their journey for salvation and provides a unique look at a fascinating historical time. Highly recommended.” - Historical Novels Review
