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 are now longer as righteous as they started.
In the harsh isolation of Elk Mountain Valley, (now Moab, Utah), 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.
Inspired by a remarkable true story, this gripping western blends hardship, humor, and heart in a tale of courage, consequence, and quiet miracles on the frontier.
Genre: Inspirational
