Sons of Bear Lake is a look at this religious culture from the inside, exploring the different ways Latter-day Saints practice their beliefs and worship in their families and communities.
Set in the Bear Lake Valley, amid the stunning scenery and lively folklore of the post-pioneer generation, three sons seek to find their way to adulthood. Each young man develops a different outlook on life, and as they grow, their faithfulness-and rebellion-give insight into their unique cultural upbringing. Readers may find themselves portrayed in one of these amazing character studies.
Reviews~
"A gripping first novel that chronicles the reverence and devotion so many families have undertaken to further their faith. You will enjoy living with these people during the course of the book. They are not perfect. They struggle, as all of us do, with many problems. But when you close the covers of the book for the last time you will wish you could stay with them to find out more."
