Amoret

Amoret is the story of one woman's journey from small town to city, from a Mormon childhood to a mother of four and her struggles to understand the changing landscape of her life. Through poetry & gardens, letters & journals, friends & children, husband & her father's constant struggle with the land, Amoret discovers the meaning of innocence and guilt, sorrow and strength, happiness and hope. In a time and place where women were voiceless and invisible, in her darkest hour of despair, she finally found her voice. Amoret Eliza Draper was born in 1888 in St. John, Utah, a dusty speck of a town surrounded by brown hills and high mountains. She died in 1917 at age 28 at the cusp of one of the most exciting times in the country's history. This is her story and the story of the lives she touched along the way.
