review 1: It took me forever to finish this book as I was listening to it on tape. I read much faster it seems. Anyway, it was a good book, the first in a series of 3. There was a lot of church history covered as it started out in England in the 1840's when Wilford Woodruff was a missionary there. The story is about a family with a son that was somewhat rebellious especially when it came to religion. It goes with him from England to Nauvoo, Ill. It is paralleled by the modern-day story of a young married couple who finds the man who came from England so long before is one of his ancestors. A very interesting book
review 2: I loved this book. I liked the way the author had of weaving the stories of people from the past and the present together. The only thing was
... more that I think Dean needed a better proofreader, as there were at least two instances where he used the name of the female character from the past with the male character from the present, when it should have been the name of the female from the present that was used. less

It made me want to research my ancestors to see who they really were and how they lived.

Not Pulitzer prize winning writing but a fun, easy read.
