About Product:
In 1847, the quiet happy lives of a people in a beautiful city were shattered by mob violence intent on driving them out of the land. Their city was called Nauvoo. The people were called "Mormons."
The modern-day exodus of the Mormon pioneers across the plains and over the mountains helped shape frontier history. It is the stuff of legends and lore. Hollywood has depicted it numerous times, in numerous ways. Songs have even been written about it, but by far, the most popular work on the subject is the musical play, Promised Valley, by Arnold Sundgaard and Crawford Gates.
Well over five million people have witnessed the play Promised Valley with its inspiring music and captivating writing. The story was crafted to be timeless and, after three generations, it is still being performed on three continents.
Now, Jed, Celia, Fennelly Parsons, and all the beloved characters are joined by some newcomers to the novel, Promised Valley. Their lives and times unfold in this exciting account of one family's struggle to escape persecution and find love in a world filled with ignorance and hate.
Lance Williams and Tillman Boxell, using the framework of the musical play, have developed a fictional work complete with drama, romance, and humor. Much of the history of the period is woven into the story making the characters and events come alive.
Both Lance and Tillman (Tip) have written books, magazines, and film and television projects.
