The Rainbow Trail,a Romance

Set ten years after Riders of the Purple Sage, the narrative explores Jane Withersteen's dilemma as she faces the collapse of Surprise Valley's wall, forcing her to choose between Lassiter's life and Fay Larkin's marriage to a Mormon. The sequel delves deeper into the themes of women's victimization within Mormon culture, contrasting the older generation's acceptance of polygamy with a new wave of women rejecting it. This tension highlights the evolving attitudes towards polygamy in early 20th-century society. A film adaptation was released in 1931.
