Įbsershoff explained his disapproval in an interview: Most significantly of these was to exclude Jordan's homosexuality, as presented in the novel, and present him as a heterosexual character.
Monsters and Critics described it posively as a "sweeping epic" that is both "compelling" and "thought-provoking." Įbsershoff, the author of the original novel, was not satisfied with the film over significant plot changes the producers made. Plus the cast strikes just the right tone of intensity and natural charm." The review continued: "It is fascinating to watch from beginning to end not just because of the "whodunit" factor but also because of the religious implications. The Huffington Post praised the "impressive" cast for bringing "life and credence to this fascinating story of murder and faith". A fellow wife, Queenie (Leigh) is convinced of her friend's innocence and with BeckyLyn's son, Jordan (Czuchry) they work to clear his mother's name. It aired on Lifetime on September 13, 2010.Īmidst a Southern Utah Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints community, BeckyLyn (Wettig) is accused of murdering her polygamist husband.
