review 1: great follow up to House on a hill. Abe has a broken heart and he still will not really look at the mormon church with opened eyes. He moves back with his mother in Idaho only to find that the prejudices among someone that is different are still there. He is a Shonsone idian by blood, but raised in a mormon culture without being converted. he wants to move to California for a fresh start but doesn't want to leave him mother. They agree to meet up when he's found a place where there are mormons. through small miracles he found snowflake arizona. his mother makes it to St. George to the point where they will meet and the temple, but her health is failing. Abe hears of her failing health and hurries to her but the trip takes 3 weeks and he is traveling with a family going for... more their sealing and an elderly woman. Pregnancy slows them along with little trials. Maddie and Abe have a connection of lost love, but will they be able to work past the religion difference that broke apart lizzy and abe and broke his heart?
review 2: This is Annette Lyon's second historical temple book. The story begins in Snowflake, Arizona where we meet Maddi Stratton and are reintroduced to Abe Franklin. This book centers on the St. George Temple, and while it's already completed when the story opens, we learn some of the legendary events that surrounded its construction. At the Journey's End carries over a character from her previous book, House on the Hill. I'm so glad she wrote this book because I really wanted to follow that particular character.Maddie Stratton has undergone tremendous heartache. She lost her beloved finance and doesn't know if she'll ever find love again. Considering a marriage of convenience and security, she meets Abe Franklin. They become friends, but Maddie can't let herself feel anything more for him because of a great divide between the two of them. She is a devout Mormon, and he doesn't know if he believes.A romance, an adventure, and a tale of love and loss . . . all rolled into one. I'd recommend this to YA readers and Adult readers alike. less
