About
A recounting of a lost gem of Utah pioneer history and a novel to rival those of
Gerald Lund with the added wit of a Mark Twain adventure.
In 1855, as the young Utah Territory teeters under outside
pressure and internal strain, a call goes out to settle the untamed frontier
and teach neighboring tribes the gospel of Jesus Christ.
William Sterrett-a recent convert, tailor, and devoted
husband-has already survived one mission that nearly cost him everything. Now,
torn between his wife and his faith, he answers the call again, joining a rough
band of missionaries whose motives aren't as righteous as they seem.
In the harsh isolation of Elk Mountain Valley, greed,
division, and a deadly illness threaten to destroy them all. As tensions rise
and survival hangs by a thread, William must decide what his faith is truly
worth.
