Amy Wadsworth

A smiling woman with short brown hair. She is wearing a black top with a U-shaped neck and no sleeves.

Amy Wadsworth grew up in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley, just a few houses away from the tall pink house her polygamist great-great grandfather built. From birth, she was raised on the stories that came from her Mormon pioneer roots, most of them revealing the darker natures of her mother's lineage. Upon her retirement from a long career in education, she began her first novel, Resolution, based on the titillating scandal of her great-great grandfather's second wife. As Amy researched her family's letters, journals and records, she searched for the details that would put all the pieces together and ultimately answer the question of what really happened.

Resolution

The Wasatch mountains stand behind overlapping images, varying in opaqueness and focus, of farm land, a house, and a family.

Eliza and Anna are a generation apart in age but are bound together by polygamy and the control of their husband, Joseph Brown. When Anna, the young second wife, wants to break free from her abusive marriage, it is only her sister wife who can make that possible.
