Yes, Book 1 of 9
Summary: Placed in the setting of upstate New York, this historical fiction follows the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Steed family is placed in the middle of it all. Will they join the church and eventually move across the country with the saints, or will they persecute Joseph Smith along with the rest of the world? In this series, you’ll follow the Steed family through their highs and lows as they create their new lives in New York and grow their family as well as their faith!
Lainie’s Lowdown: This book is heavily based in the Latter-Day-Saint religion. The book does not skip over any of the tragedies that the early saints had to endure. There are a few scenes in which alcohol and tempers have an effect on characters in the book, but nothing graphically depicted.
