This book was interesting in the way it detailed the history of polygamist Mormons in Mexico. It was an aspect of the  Mormon history I had not read about. It's a little unsatisfying just because there are a lot of unknown details about the 2019 murders that frame this book. 

I will say at the end, the author tries to make a case for the role women play in the Mexican colonies, but it felt a little forced because most of the book felt like it was more about an overarching history than women specifically, despite having a couple chapters focusing on the stories of two of the author's female ancestors. 

I would still recommend this book, however because it details a lot about the polygamist exodus to Mexico and some of the feuds that have shaped their culture.
