Whelan’s thorough research has resulted in a comprehensive collection of stories about life in early polygamous families. More Than One contains over 80 brief, first person accounts of pioneer life in plural marriage including how couples met through divine intervention, how they chose another wife, and how the husband shared his time and affection.
The author also provides evidence that plural marriage was a fulfillment of biblical prophecy and paints an intriguing picture of how life would be today if we were to once again practice this divine principle. This unique book leaves the reader with a greater understanding of plural marriage as well as appreciation for those practiced it. More Than One enlightens the mind, touches the heart and moves the soul.
