24. So... Have You Checked Out Amazon.com On This ???

Editorial Reviews

Product Description:
From Lynne Cheney, the wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, comes a riveting tale of women in the American frontier.

The novel of a strong and beautiful woman who broke all the rules of the American frontier...


Sophie Dymond had overcome nineteenth-century prejudices to succeed as publisher of a hugely popular women's magazine. But when she left New York to revisit her native Wyoming, where her sister had died mysteriously, she left her prestige and power far behind. Waiting for Sophie was a world where women were treated either as decorative figurines or as abject sexual vassals...where wives were led to despise the marriage act and prostitutes pandered to husbands' hungers...where the relationship between women and men became a kind of guerilla warfare in which women were forced to band together for the strength they needed and at times for the love they wanted. In her effort to grasp the meaning of her sister's life and death, Sophie discovers the secret that tainted her life and begins to understand the experience of the vast majority of silent, trapped women.

And the reviews...

Enjoyed it except for the dirty parts., August 4, 2004
Reviewer: Gen. JC Christian, patriot (Tremonton, UT United States) -

Deputy Leader's wife did a bang up job on this book, but I wonder why it had all that sex in it. Conservatives don't do those things she wrote about--it's sinful. And the part about the women having sex with each other was just pure fantasy. Everyone knows women can't do that. They don't have "little soldiers."

Leaves you panting for more!, February 20, 2003
Reviewer: A reader

This story of a Washington wife who leaves her powerful husband to join a womyn's commune is charged with the kind of eroticism you just don't expect from the Second Lady of the United States of America. I was amazed at how graphically Ms. Cheney details the commune's daily "massage classes" and their predictable free-for-all aftermaths, while at the same time delivering a devastating critique of phallocentric discourse in modern culture. I can't wait for the sequel, in which the Sisters declare war against the male-dominated multinational corporation that is threatening to foreclose on their commune. Four Stars!
