In the 1850s, Jean Rio, a deeply spiritual widow, was moved
by the promises of Mormon missionaries and set out from England for
Utah. Traveling across the Atlantic by steamer, up the Mississippi
by riverboat, and westward by wagon, Rio kept a detailed diary of
her extraordinary journey.In Faith and Betrayal, Sally
Denton, an award-winning journalist and Rio’s
great-great-granddaughter, uses the long-lost diary to re-create
Rio’s experience. While she marvels at the great natural beauty of
Utah, Rio’s enthusiasm for her new life turns to disillusionment
over Mormon polygamy and violence against nonbelievers, as well as
the harshness of frontier life. She sets out for California, where
she finds a new religion and the freedom she longed for. Unusually
intimate and full of vivid detail, this is an absorbing story of a
quintessential American pioneer.
