How can the governmentand Brigham Youngnow be asking the Mormons to come up with 500 able-bodied soldiers to assist in the war with Mexico? And how can Will Lewis be asked to join the Mormon Battalion when it means leaving Liz and their two little boys on their own in the wilderness? How many sacrifices will be required in order for the Saints to create Zion?And in modern-day Nauvoo Jeff and Abby Lewis are facing challenges of their own. Juggling family priorities professional responsibilities and Church callings becomes and almost impossible feat. It is clear that building Zion in the latter days will require sacrifices just as it did in the time of Jeff's ancestors.In this concluding volume of the Come to Zion trilogy beloved novelist Dean Hughes provides a unique perspective on the struggles and sacrificesand ultimate joyof faithful Saints in any generation.
