Description:
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. Duration - 11h 49m. Author - Carolyn Twede Frank. Narrator - Frank Block.
