This engrossing family saga brings to life two indomitable women. Kate, the young wife of Burns Hamilton, a Mormon missionary, is deeply in love with her husband, but is hurt and humiliated when he takes a second and then a third wife. As the years pass, Kate becomes the matriarchal figure in the multiple household with her children bringing her both pain and pleasure. Watch for the Morning is a richly conceived novel, a moving love story, a vivid picture of the Mormon settlement in Utah and of the hardships and indignities imposed upon its women. Readers will find it unforgettable.

Reflects on the nature of religion and how it relates or ought to relate to the rest of life.

'I never thought, when I met my husband at 18, got married at 25, had my third baby at 30 or even two years ago when I started writing this book, that I would find myself in the position I am now... a single mum to three boys, two dogs with a now ex-husband. This is a brutally honest account of life since I weed on that stick. Pregnancy, haemorrhoids, cabbage leaves, mum mates, tantrums, holidays, hormones, sex, dogs and divorce. This is definitely not a guide to parenting but it may make you feel a little less alone on the journey.'
