About the Book

UTAH TERRITORY, 1869 In Mormon country, where plural marriage is an accepted way of life, two sisters, Montana and Zelda Sudsway, are expected to follow suite and marry into polygamy. Jane, a 16-year old immigrant living with them, is hopelessly in love with their brother, Sydney, but he is betrothed to Helen, the beauty of Bear River Valley. Knowing that Sydney holds deed to the Sudsway pioneer home, Helen refuses to take vows until his sisters are married and out of the house. With the young men of their settlement either panning for gold in the North or setting rails for the Union Pacific, what are the girls to do? The joining of the transcontinental railroad at Promontory Point, Brigham Young's edict, boycotting "gentile" entrepreneurs who threaten to dominate Salt Lake City commerce, and the emergence of the anti-Mormon City of Corinne-these conflicts form the historical backdrop to a star-crossed love story in Baiting on the Bear.
About the Author: Author Afton Greenwood grew up in Bennion, a pioneer settlement in the Salt Lake Valley. Scholastically, she was highly motivated, becoming valedictorian in Jr. High and editor of both the yearbook and school newspaper in High School, but she graduated during the depression and there was no money for college. It took her two years, working as a secretary and bookkeeper at twenty-five cents per hour to save the $100 for one year's tuition at B.Y.U. She married, but the determination to finish her education never faded. After raising seven children, she returned to university, graduating summa cum laude, salutatorian of her class, with degrees in literature, writing, and history. While pursuing a graduate degree, she taught humanities at Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on a fellowship. Besides publishing a series of monthly articles in "Jewelry Making, Gems and Minerals," she authored a dictionary of Western lingo, six volumes of family history, and three novels: Grave Notes on Aurelia, On the Edge with Cynthia, and Baiting on the Bear. In the latter, she draws from her own childhood experience under the very shadow of those controversies dealt with in her novel
