Description
For: This Is the Place ISBN: 1588513521 AmErica House “When you live amidst beauty sometimes you don’t recognize discrimination and, if you do, you prefer not to acknowledge it.” A young journalist realizes that because she is half Mormon and half Protestant she is not suitable material for love. She delves into her Mormon heritage and journals her way through prejudice into redemption. She learns to mend her own life when she finds she cannot mend her world. This novel, set in Salt Lake City in the 50s, reveals not only complexities of the heart but the secrets of what some consider a mysterious place and culture. It is especially relevant since Mitt Romney has been running for the Republican nomination and Warren Jeffs, a polygamist prophet, is on trial in Utah. "This Is the Place" has won eight awards including the Critics' Choice award.
