For Time & Eternity (Sister Wife)
From the Author I have always said that God allowed me to write my 5 previous novels so that I would have the opportunity to write this book. No matter where my career goes, I know this will always be my most important novel. It was the most difficult, heart-wrenching, spiritally exhausting effort. There were times I felt each and every word had to be dragged through a battlefield to make its way onto the page.  But, at the end, I've never felt more immediately satisfied. I know God is pleased with this story and the truth it represents.Lately, I've taken some hits in the Reviews--a lot of 1- and 2-star reviews, largely from LDS readers. Dispiriting at first, but then peace. I never intended For Time and Eternity to be a vehicle to "convert" Mormons. I didn't want to take on the Mormon church, or the institution of polygamy--I just wanted to tell a story, accurate in both history and theology. If it is enjoyed only on that level, I've accomplished what every author wants to accomplish. Christian authors, though do have a bit of a higher responsibility. For that, I go to Galatians 1:10 -- Obviously, I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant. (NLT) That's the verse I cling to with every angry review and email. What a honor it is to be a servant of the Lord, and I'm so grateful to my readers who allow me to serve Him!
