""Desert Birthright is more than a memoir--it is a hymn to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of faith. In the end, it is not just a story of birth, but of rebirth--a testament to the enduring power of women who labor and rise anew.""--Lindsay Hansen Park, executive director, Sunstone Education Foundation ""An interesting peek into the world of polygamy and its workings. With pleasure and fascination, you can explore the yellow brick road into this realm.""--Phyllis Barber, author of The Precarious Walk
