In a novel based on true events, "New York Times" bestselling
author Sandra Dallas delivers the story of four women---seeking the
promise of salvation and prosperity in a new land---who come
together on a harrowing journey.
In 1856, Mormon converts, encouraged by Brigham Young himself,
and outfitted with two-wheeled handcarts, set out on foot from Iowa
City to Salt Lake City, the "promised land." The Martin Handcart
Company, a zealous group of emigrants headed for Zion, is the last
to leave on this 1,300-mile journey. Earlier companies arrive
successfully in Salt Lake City, but for the Martin Company the trip
proves disastrous. "True Sisters" tells the story of four women
whose lives will become inextricably linked as they endure
unimaginable hardships, each one testing the boundaries of her
faith and learning the true meaning of survival and friendship
along the way: Nannie, who is traveling with her sister and
brother-in-law after being abandoned on her wedding day; Louisa,
who's married to an overbearing church leader who she believes
speaks for God; Jessie, who's traveling with her brothers, each one
of them dreaming of the farm they will have in Zion; and Anne, who
hasn't converted to Mormonism but who has no choice but to follow
her husband since he has sold everything to make the trek to
Utah.
Sandra Dallas has once again written a moving portrait of women
surviving the unimaginable through the ties of female
friendship.
