The Third Wife
reviewed on + 711 more book reviews


On her wedding night, seventeen-year olf Anna Langtry stole her husband's car and fled into the darkness, racing toward freedom. She felt only desperation to escape the nightmare of her Colorado home---and isolated rural community that condoned her forced polygamous marriage to become one man's third wife. Fifteen years later, Anna is working as a federal probation officer in Denver. A fighter for the underdog, even she cannot escape the cynicism of her profession. She is about to be pulled into another world....one that will lead her back to the past she'd left behind.
