Uncut Diamonds (A Mormon Family Saga #1)

A young married couple struggles to find balance during the over-the-top decade of the seventies. Gold medallions, disco dancing, Star Wars and Saturday Night Fever are all the rage. Jimmy Carter is President during a frightening recession, with fuel bills higher than house payments. In the heartland of America, a young Mormon couple, Marcie and Shawn McGill, struggle to save their home, family and marriage. During these uncertain times, they come to learn what matters most.

Uncut Diamonds is a novel that celebrates family: the ordinary, the outrageous, the comical and the tragic.

"This is a story about family, about choices, about a woman who is still young but has big adult responsibilities. It is also about being Mormon. There is an honesty in Uncut Diamonds, a touching book. . .I found myself not being able to put it down, and was sad at the appearance of the last page." ~Amy Saia, author, The Soul Seekers

"Scenes are lucid and crisply written. The only difficulty for readers who are not Mormons would be the cultural terminology, but there is a glossary for such readers." ~Ann Carbine Best, author,In the Mirror: A Memoir of Shattered Secrets
