When her husband marries his twelfth wife, Endure is forced to confront her past as the woman draws her into a world of dangerous rebellion against the theocratic, futuristic United States that the family resides in.

In this version of American society, polygamy is the normal, and fundamentalist Christianity is rampant. As Endure is further tempted by a life outside of the strict religious practice, however, she must decide whether she possesses the strength to leave, or the endurance to stay.

And here are some reasons why you really, really ought to read this story: The relevance of a book that explores politics, sexuality, and the roles of women and religion in society, is one that simply cannot be ignored or overlooked.

Published author S. Cinders said it best: "This story is fierce, bloody, raw, beautiful, needful and timeless. I am better for having read it. And that . . . is a gift."
