"Is there such a thing as a twenty-first century pioneer woman, or is it only a construct of a bygone era? If there are pioneer women today at the beginning of the twenty-first century, who are they? What do they look like and where do they live? Are they still sacrificing comfort and wealth in commitment to the Lord? " In this collection of personal essays, author Neylan McBaine addresses twenty- and thirtysomething Mormon women as they face the challenges of life%u2019s many transitions. Frontiers such as finishing school, starting work, moving to a new city, getting married, and having children provide opportunities for women today to show their commitment to the Lord just as pioneer foremothers did in earlier ages. Drawing from her experience growing up Mormon in New York City and attending Yale University, Neylan extracts universal insights that help Mormon women today conquer twenty-first century frontiers.

My wife and I purchased Neylan's book and have both been reading it this week. Last night we enjoyed reading our favorite excerpts to each other. This collection of personal essays brings back fond memories of being a Latter-day Saint at Yale in the late 1990's. Neylan provides good insights into gospel living in the twenty-first century, and her commitment to the restored church is evident in every chapter. The book is well organized, written, and edited. We are looking forward to more to come from Neylan McBaine.

This is a lovely book of personal essays from the point-of-view of a smart, searching Mormon writer. I found myself many times identifying with her grapplings and the self-searching involved with leaving home, finding love, starting a first job, having a baby. Neylan McBaine is a wonderful voice of support and insight for young, strong, Mormon women.
