Set in 1857 southern Utah during the fear-charged months before and after the Mountain Meadows Massacre, this novel follows Elizabeth, an orphaned girl married against her heart to a hard older man, and Arben, the stepson who loves her. Across two decades their lives entangle with the real John D. Lee, whose fate casts a long shadow over the valley. A multigenerational story of commitment, secret guilt, forbidden longing, and the search for peace after atrocity.
- A sweeping, tragic saga built around one of the most controversial events in LDS history—the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
- A rare fictional portrait of John D. Lee that treats him with unusual sympathy while never excusing the atrocity.
- A decades-spanning love triangle set against war, cover-up, and the slow arrival of justice.
- Blends intimate diary entries with epic historical sweep from 1857 to a 1927 reckoning.
Perfect for an adult reader interested in a dramatic, morally complex historical novel about the Mountain Meadows Massacre and pioneer-era Utah, comfortable with LDS history and a sympathetic-but-unflinching treatment of John D. Lee.
