Who is the main character in Riders of the Purple Sage by Zane Grey?

Jane Withersteen is a woman tormented by a deep internal conflict. Born and raised Mormon in a small Mormon-run town located along Utah's frontier, Jane has been taught all her life to respect and revere the church Elders. An important facet of the Mormon teachings she receives is that Mormon Bishops are direct conduits to God. Historically, this is a religious teaching common to many faiths, which teach that salvation can only be found through the grace of a particular religion or church.
