2011 Christy Award finalist!
All Camilla Deardon knows of the Mormons camping nearby is the songs she hears floating on the breeze. Then she meets one of them—a young man named Nathan Fox. Never did she imagine he would be so handsome, so charming, especially after Mama and Papa’s warnings to stay away. Though she knows she should obey her parents, Camilla can’t refuse her heart. But even Nathan’s promises cannot prepare her for what she will face in Utah.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5For me, this book was a strange mixture of like and dislike despair and hope. It really is a story about a personal spiritual journey, as much as it is a romance and a physical journey. But you don't really realize the strong spiritual element until much later in the book. Actually, the book is kind of slow until the tension starts building and she is spiritually awakened. However, I felt like I was just beginning to think "this book is getting good" when it ended, rather abruptly, to be honest. **warning spoilers** Actually, the ending felt rather like cheating. Camilla had come to a point where she'd fully awoken to her own spiritual convictions. She was in a very difficult situation, by any means. She was surrounded by Mormons who did not look kindly on non-Mormons. She still loved her husband. She was obligated to her children, for both their spiritual and physical well-being. In that society, their physical well-being could not be guaranteed if she took them with her. So, the tension was building when it abruptly stopped and the problems were solved. While I do not think the ending was unrealistic for the time period, as fiction, I felt like it was an easy out and rather cheating. ADDITION: OK, so I've just learned that there is a sequel to this book starring Camilla. So apparently she didn't die in an easy out at the end. So... I guess I take away that criticism. Since the book was just getting good as the tension mounted, I think I might look up this sequel.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5From my book review blog, Rundpinne."For Time & Eternity is the first book in Allison Pittman’s The Sister Wife Series. I have been fortunate enough to review other works by Pittman so it was with eagerness I began For Time & Eternity. Pittman takes the reader back to 1850 Iowa where young Camilla Deardon is being raised in a devoutly Christian household and yet is lured to the sounds of singing, which would be the Mormons making their way to Salt Lake City. Pittman captures the emotions of the time, the fear of the Mormons as well as misconceptions that existed during that time in history. Rather than focus on the Mormon progression, Pittman focuses on Camilla who defies her parents to be with Nathan, a Mormon who is heading to Utah. Pittman does a superb job at conveying the thoughts, perceptions and misperceptions of Christians and Mormons. Her story line is solid and her characters are well crafted. Pittman’s writing style is beautiful and strong, easily making the reader feel as though they are in the 19th century with Camilla and Nathan. My heart went out to the Deardon family and to Camilla. I will need to wait until the release of the next book in the series, Forsaking All Others in 2011 to find out if my hopes for Camilla come true. For Time & Eternity is a novel I would recommend to anyone looking for a good story steeped in history."
