Gabriel's Daughters
Review
Gabriel’s Daughters is full
of emotional ups and downs between three sisters born within the polygamist
community of Gabriel’s Landing. Zina, at the age of sixteen, finds herself
thrown into the real world because of choices she made that would ruin her family’s
reputation. She goes on a long journey that helps her grow and find herself
truly before she is able to forgive herself from her past transgressions.
Luckily with friendship and
loving individuals that support her through her journey she becomes a person
worth admiring. She isn’t the only sister to feel thrown into this world
though, Louisa and Amy find themselves fighting to find themselves in different
ways. Louisa becomes a doctor and fights to find confidence with her life after
a tragic effect. While Amy prepares to take her duty as a first wife only to
find her world thrown upside down by betrayal of one she loves.
This novel was
an exciting read that captured my heart from page one. The way Mrs. Jensen
captured the emotion behind each character is what made the story. Yes many
might have issues with this lifestyle that centers at the plot of the story.
But the journey and emotional turmoil draws you in and makes you root for Zina
and her sisters. You will find yourself feeling fear, sorrow, happiness and
even glee as you read about these sisters journeys.
Side note: This
is by far a novel genre I haven’t read often but I found myself drawn in and
couldn’t stop reading. Zina and her sisters story brought tears, and such
emotion I will be finding myself rereading this novel many time. This is
defiantly a read you all will want to give a try.
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
