Reviews

Mary Ella Engel's excellent Praying with One Eye Open will open your eyes to a forgotten episode of religious violence in the Deep South: the summary execution of Mormon missionary Joseph Standing. The murder occurred in 1879 in mountainous Whitfield County, Georgia, against a backdrop of economic woe, but it was mostly about sex, specifically the polygamy practiced by Latter Day Saints. This is a shocking and fascinating tale.--Steve Oney author of And the Dead Shall Rise
