The Divorce Colony: How Women Revolutionized Marriage and Found Freedom on the American Frontier

An interesting topic, but I wouldn’t have finished it if it weren’t part of a personal challenge to read from all 50 states. I am glad this historical record exists and that April White pulled it together, happy to hear the realness of some of the buildings still standing, and especially grateful that the divorce colony existed. And the level of detail was not necessary for my own reading/listening.

Loved the clever ideas of this book and really appreciated the characters from all over the world… but somehow the storytelling was hard for me to follow.
