Rainbow Trail

She was born into a world that demanded she share her husband with three other women. When the chance for escape comes, she takes it, fleeing into the red rock canyons with the man she loves and the law close behind. But the Utah desert offers no mercy, and the only way through is forward into the unknown. Zane Grey's sequel to Riders of the Purple Sage picks up the story of a young couple determined to build a life free from polygamy, a crime in these mountains only if you refuse to submit. As they ride through some of the most spectacular wilderness in America, Grey paints a vivid portrait of a territory caught between old ways and new ideals. The older generation clings to tradition; the young women of this generation have simply had enough. This is the American West as both breathtaking adventure and social battlefield, where love becomes an act of rebellion and freedom costs everything. What makes Rainbow Trail endure is its unlikely heart: a Western that argues, with muscular prose and genuine romance, that the most frontier worth crossing is the one between what society demands and what the heart knows to be true.
