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.
