A review by mama3manda
The Fire and the Ore by Olivia Hawker

4.0

Not what I expected. I went into this assuming it would be a story based around the struggles of sisterwives. While that was a component of the story, it was so much more. It was an enlightening story and account of the history of the Mormon faith/church. I enjoyed how the characters were entangled throughout. The beginning did drag on a bit for me, but once I finished the book, I felt it was necessary to truly understand the hardships of the journey. I learned a lot, and it kept my interest overall. The Author's Note at the end made me enjoy the story even more.
