While the stark peculiarities and unorthodoxies of Mormonism are at the core of this story--particularly the sense of entitlement that comes from the belief that its members are fledgling gods--it is a powerful look into the dauntless people who both shaped the religion's history and tackled the job of settling and farming the rugged Colorado Plateau. Chronicling the lives of two divergent groups of Mormons, it paints a colorful picture of the hardships and successes of both--the ones who turned around after Joseph Smith's death and went back to their old lives in the East, and those who struggled onward to forge new opportunities in the West.
