Publisher's Synopsis
In the wake of the Civil War, young Sirus Smith experiences the unexpected call of God in a way neither he, his wife Cary, or his family anticipated--through the Mormon Church. So powerful is his awakening that Sirus picks up stakes, abandoning his native Southern roots and relocating to the far West with the Latter Day Saints. Noted author, Louise Gore Sayre-David once again pens a historically accurate novel of a turbulent time, a driven man, and an uncertain future. She depicts realistic characters against a majestic backdrop, setting the stage for the greatness of an emerging nation.
