description: Truth Will Prevail  the eagerly awaited third volume in the popular series The Work and the Glory  continues the gripping story of the fictional Steed family a family acquainted with Joseph Smith and caught up in the grand events associated with the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ to the earth. Covering the years 1836 to 1838 this volume finds the Steed involved in both remarkable and turbulent events in Church history. Nathan accompanies Parley P. Pratt on a challenging mission to Upper Canada. Jessica Joshua's ex-wife feels compelled to return to Missouri where the Church seeks a new haven in an area known as Far West. Meanwhile Joshua  ever restless and ambitious yet haunted by the misdeeds of his past  travels to Savannah Georgia on business and there has experiences that will dramatically alter his life. Tensions between Melissa and her nonmember husband Carl force her to make a critical decision. A growing spirit of apostasy in Kirtland threatens the fledging Church a spirit from which even the Steed family is not immune. In the middle of these intense days of rebellion and disaffection in Kirtland the divine call comes to open the work in the first mission overseas  England. These and other important happenings (as well as the introduction of several new and fascinating characters) make this volume rich in drama and historical detail. As with the previous volumes in the series readers will be intrigued by descriptions of actual and sometimes little-known events in Church history. And they will be moved as the author portrays the true-to-life struggles heartaches and joys of the Steed family whose lives exemplify the faith expressed by many of the early Saints that God's purposes in these latter days  his truth and his restored church  will ultimately prevail.
