Fresh Courage Take — Dean Hughes

Beloved novelist Dean Hughes skillfully interweaves the stories of two Latter-day Saint Families separated by five generations and 150 years, both facing challenges that test their faith and commitment to the Church. For Liz and Will Lewis, leaving Nauvoo for an unknown wilderness has proven to be the most difficult trail of their lives, but greater challenge lie ahead as Will joins with the Mormon Battalion and Liz leaves Winter Quarters to brave the trek with her children. For Jeff and Abby Lewis in modern-day Nauvoo, learning to put first things first becomes a much more difficult challenge than they could have imagined, providing a unique perspective on the struggles that are faced by faithful Saints in any generation.
