Tensions between the Mormons and the U.S. Government escalate sharply in 1857, just as Nellie and her growing family arrive in the Great Salt Lake City. Plunged into the fracas of two forms of government at cross-purposes, Nellie settles her family into their new home while trying to discern the origin of the threats to her very existence. Her husband, Obadiah, begins his judgeship in the county, navigating around his own formidable obstacles. But can she trust he will share the information only he is privy to?
Nellie is forced to interact with those she opposes both politically and morally. How can she create a safe home for her children? Must she abandon all hope of speaking her mind?
EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a fascinating historical tale. Although a dynamic part of our United States history, before the Netflix series American Primeval, little was remembered about the Utah War. This tale omits the gore but provides the historical context of the turbulent time. Journey back in time to the 1800s, with the fourth book in the award-winning Journey of Cornelia Rose series, combining the best of historical fiction, women's fiction, and the Old West pioneering spirit as one woman seeks fulfillment in her life.
Collen's narrative style intertwines historical accuracy with contemporary emotional understanding. Her writing is sharp and witty, interspersed with touches of humor and deep reflection... This historical novel is deeply personal and moving. Collen has achieved another remarkable success. Feathered Quill Book Reviews, Alma Boucher
The writing is full of heart, grit, and humor. Nellie's voice feels so real, I could practically hear her in my head. ...Nellie's take on the world is both clever and full of heart. This brings her character to life, making the scenes easier to visualize, and adds humor to a serious time in American history... The vivid historical details dropped me right into frontier life...
