Beloved novelist Dean Hughes skillfully interweaves the stories of two Latter-day Saint Families separated by five generations and 150 years, both facing challenges that test their faith and commitment to the Church. For Liz and Will Lewis, leaving Nauvoo for an unknown wilderness has proven to be the most difficult trail of their lives, but greater challenge lie ahead as Will joins with the Mormon Battalion and Liz leaves Winter Quarters to brave the trek with their children.
