Twelve Sisters: A Novel

On the surface, the fast and testimony meeting seems quite ordinary. Prelude music only slightly masks the noise as members of the ward fill up the pews and the bishop smiles benignly over the assembling Saints. But beneath their scrubbed and freshly pressed exteriors, each of the women in the Foothills Ward struggles with challenges and decisions that others in the congregation are not aware of. In this beautifully crafted novel, we share the lives of twelve "ordinary" Latter-day Saint women - discovering in their diversity and their yearnings toward sisterhood what it means to be a woman in the Church today.
