A review by beklovesbooks
Papa Married a Mormon by John D. Fitzgerald

challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring sad medium-paced

5.0

Such a good book! I laughed out loud, I cried, I was angry. Beautiful love story and generational family tales of the Wild West in Utah territory and then state. This book and it’s sequel “Mamma’s Boarding House” are must-reads. I will read them again and again.
