About Product:

What was it like to be in Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1844? What would it have been like for the prophet Joseph's niece? In this historically authentic novel, author Becky Paget focuses on six months in the life and courtship of sixteen-year-old Lovina, the daughter of Hyrum Smith.

Based on carefully-researched actual events, this intriguing story centers on Lovina's blossoming romance with Lorin Walker, a stalwart young man who had come to live at the Mansion House with his nine brothers and sisters when his mother died. Amid fierce anti-Mormon sentiment, Lovina tries to help a friend by briefly encouraging a gentile suitor - a plan that nearly costs her Lorin's devotion and her own reputation.

True love prevails as Hyrum Smith unites Lorin and Lovina in marriage during the dark hours just before his own fateful journey to Carthage. What transpires in the following days determines the direction of this young couple's journey through life.

This beautifully told story serves as a poignant reminder of the power of faith and the resilience of both love and the human spirit in the face of tremendous adversity. A must for all who cherish our Latter-day Saint heritage!
