The past year of Doug Dalton's life has been full of highs and lows. He shined as a high school athlete, but he also suffered through his sister Emma's disappearance during her dangerous errand into the 1860s.
Now he'd like to rest, but duty beckons as he is called to serve an LDS mission near New York City, where Doug and his missionary companions handle more perilous situations than Emma ever faced. His days are so busy he's sure the Lord would never require him to take a journey into the past.
He should've known better!
In this riveting sequel to An Errand for Emma, the Dalton family tackles another unexpected dilemma that threatens their family. Doug is teaching the gospel one afternoon, and by that evening he's wandering the streets of 1944 Manhattan. World War II is reaching its conclusion, and Doug's actions there alter the future of everyone around him, especially his own.
Reviews-
I liked this glimpse into a missionary's life and seeing the closeness Doug developed with the Holy Ghost. Reading this book has increased my desire to live worthy of the Holy Ghost's constant companionship. The story's ending is very satisfying and leaves one in no doubt that although the Lord moves in mysterious ways, He does have a plan! I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
I really liked the way this book took you back in time with the character. I learned so much about World War II and there were times when I felt I was actually there. It kept me interested through the whole book. I would recommend this book along with the other books in the trilogy.
When I pulled out the first book in the Emma trilogy I had a busy day ahead, but I was due for a short break, so I thought I'd just look at a few pages to see what they were like. Hours later I was still reading. Over the next several days, I burnt the bread, forgot to make dinner and generally neglected my family. I stopped reading only to fulfill the numerous church assignments I had that week. These were easily the three best books I have ever read!
