Nevertheless, they can’t turn their back on these runaway men who have wives and children at home. They’re not polygamists, but they still just want to be left alone. It’s a fascinating idea, especially as it goes along with the premise of this novel-it’s about a group of early members of the Church who are loyal to the religion, but not necessarily devout. Although I’ve been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints my whole life, I’d never heard of an Underground Railroad for polygamist LDS men on the run from the law during the late 1800s in Utah (although it was illegal, plural marriage was practiced by some members of the mainstream Church from about 1850-1890 and is only practiced now by members of off-shoot groups who are not affiliated with the Church). ![]() ![]() THE GLOVEMAKER is an intriguing historical novel about an “in-between place” filled with in-between Saints. ![]()
