Imagine what if USA had another Civil War and ended up in another World War not too far into our immediate future. That is premise of Forty Days at Kamas. This futuristic book had at times eerie chills running down my arms and shuttering thoughts could this happen through out the whole book. Forty Days at Kamas focuses on one family The Wagners:Paul, Juliet, Louisa, and Claire. Paul is sentenced to labor camp for five years. Juliet and Louisa are taken into custody at Philadelphia train station. Claire escapes and makes her way to Heber, Utah near Kamas. Claire is taken in by Helen Sigler until she becomes junior au pair for Martha and Deputy Warden Doug Chambers. I'm afraid to say more because I don't want to spoil it for anyone. But this quote from book sums up it nicely:"No matter who we are or what our situation may be, our sacrifice has a meaning. It is essential to the very nature of this sacrifice that it must appear pointless to the world of material success. But there must be no doubt in anyone's mind that the meaning exists. Those of you who have held on to your religious faith will have no difficulty in recognizing this."Judge for yourself in Forty Days at Kamas.
