Hello 'Book Club Ladies'--
I have chosen a super good historical fiction book for the month of August..........'Fire of the Covenant'.......it is the story of those handcart pioneers and their exodus to the Salt Lake Valley. Author Gerald N. Lund has used the same techniques present in The Work and the Glory series to blend fictional characters into the tapestry of actual historical events, making this a story filled with all the elements of great drama — tragedy, triumph, pathos, courage, sacrifice, surrender and faith.' ( I copied that)
The book is a little long but we have two months to read. It also might be harder to find because I know with many people going on trek it is popular right now. Last night at book club there were quite a few girls who could get extra copies from family, so if you can't find it let us know. It will be fun to know the stories that the youth are talking about while they prepare and go on the pioneer trek. It is both bitter and sweet but oh so good.
Plan on August 25th at my house.
Thanks so much,
Debbie
