Author: Emma Marr Petersen
About Product:
Suffering for the gospel's sake was a stern reality for Mallie McNair.
Buffeted from Canada to England and back again, she remained true to the faith though it cost her all she had. Through the edict of a husband who misunderstood the "Mormons" she was compelled to leave her home with her two loyal children, who were also converts to the restored gospel of Christ.
In One of a City, Emma Marr Petersen tells Mallie's story in a simple but moving way, showing how Mallie became the victim of neighbors who persecuted her when they found a "Mormon" in their midst.
It portrays life in a small fishing village in Canada where she and her children sought refuge from the storms of abuse that raged about her because she chose to be loyal to her new religion.
Though written in fictional style, the book largely reflects the true life experience of the author's mother. With all the power of simple and direct expression it reminds the reader that following the Savior can still mean taking up the cross.
This book will bring a renewed sense of gratitude to many whose ancestors, as converts, also were "one of a city."
