About this ebook
2012 Christy Award finalist, Historical category.
Camilla Fox is alive. The last thing she remembers is being lost in the snow after leaving her home to escape the Mormon faith she no longer calls her own. She’s been taken in by the 5th Infantry Regiment of the US Army and given over to the personal care of Captain Charles Brandon. As she regains her strength, memories of her two children she had to leave behind come flooding back, threatening to break her heart. Camilla is determined to reunite with her daughters. But when news of her father’s grave illness reaches her, she knows she must return to the family farm to reconcile with her father. As spring arrives, Camilla returns to Salt Lake City a changed woman, but nothing could prepare her for the changes to the city, to the Mormon church, and to the family she left behind.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Pittman is one of those gifted writers who are story tellers. She gets inside you and the written word transforms you into the world she has created. This is an incredible journey of a young girl who has had to grow up too quick and try to figure out who her real friends were and who she could trust.
Please read this series, you will be happy you did!
I was on a kick to read all books about mormons during the Warren Jeffs trials. I had read another book that I love called 'Escape" and it was an actual account of things happening in our news right now. While I searched for every type of book on the subject (nonfiction and fiction) I found Allison Pittman and would fall-in love with reading again. What had been an occasional hobby has become a way of life. I always have a book by my side and it is because of writers like her. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's January 1858, and Camilla Fox is rescued by the U.S. Army after getting lost in a snowstorm, and she is just barely alive. She had left her home, leaving behind her Mormon husband, and her 2 daughters, after her husband had taken a second wife. She no longer believes in the Mormon faith, and she is determined to reunite with her children, and out from under the influence of the Mormons, but first, she must return to the family farm to reconcile with her father, who is gravely ill. When she finally returns to Salt Lake City, she finds herself unprepared for the changes to the city, the church, and her family.This is the sequel to "For Time and Eternity"; I highly recommend that you read that book before this one, so that you have an understanding of why Camilla left home 8 years earlier, and how she was deceived into the Mormon beliefs.I really enjoyed this story, and it was hard to put down once I started reading, getting caught up in Camilla's journey and being anxious to find out if she got her children back.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When I picked Forsaking All Others, I didn’t realize it was #2 in the Sister Wives series. Thankfully, the way Ms. Pittman started out her book covered what I needed to know. I’d like to go back and read the first book, For Time and Eternity, when I get the time.I enjoy watching the TLC show “Sister Wives” because it’s such a different lifestyle than what I know so when I saw Forsaking All Others—The Sister Wives Series, I knew I needed to read it. I didn’t know much about the Mormon doctrine back in the mid-1800’s but the introductory “letter” at the beginning explained it quite well. Ms. Pittman evidently did her researched historical Mormonism and did a great job of communicating it to the reader. She was able to explain without sounding like a school lecture. The first couple chapters seemed a little slow to me and I just couldn’t get into the book. However, after I got a few chapters under my belt and became invested in the characters, I couldn’t put it down! I enjoyed the comparison between being a Mormon and being a Christian and their relationships with God. Ms. Pittman’s perspectives and comparisons were very well written and easily understood.Overall, I would give Forsaking All Others 3.5 stars. I hope the next book in the Sister Wives series comes soon!Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of Forsaking All Others in exchange for my personal, honest review.
