Sandra Dallas’ new book deals with the migration of a group of Mormons from Iowa City to Utah in 1856. It is a devout group of characters with only strong faith to see them through. They have little food and limited possessions and must rely on each other to make the journey successfully. The story involves four unrelated women, and how their faith and love for one another helps them endure this difficult and sometimes tragic journey. The trek takes them 1300 miles in unfavorable conditions but they are determined to reach the ‘promised land’. A great survival story showing strength of spirit and community.
