At the moment she knew the worst - they would soon be leaving Iceland, the storied land of her birth, the place of all her hopes and dreams. She would be an emigrant, a stranger, one of many new converts seeking refuge in Zion. And once they were there, even her family's presence did not dispel the yearnings for her homeland. Even in Zion, life could be difficult - new land, new language, new hardships, new customs, and even the unfeeling prejudice of other immigrants. Her father's dailt struggle for family survival, the loss of her mother's baby, her brother's rebellion against father and church - everything seemed against her. Even the pleasure of her developing feelings for Elder Thorderson on his return from Iceland turned to heartache when he left town to marry another. In this unusual novel Susan McCloud sensitively portrays the European immigrant's life in pioneer Utah as she skillfully weaves the story of Anna's life and love.
