Features & Highlights

  • In the difficult years following World War I, the Elkhardt family in Bavaria experiences increasing turmoil in their lives as they try to move forward in a nation deeply divided. Suffering the devastating impact of defeat in the Great War, the people of Germany must find a solution to dire economic conditions -- particularly skyrocketing inflation -- resulting from the country's staggering war reparation dictated by the Treaty of Versailles. Conditions are so grim that the German people are desperate for someone -- anyone -- to step forward and bring stability back to their beloved Fatherland. While few suspect that a rising new political leader may not be the rescuer they seek, the visit of two former LDS missionaries and their spouses could have life-changing repercussions for the Elkhardts and cause them to reexamine long-held beliefs in the face of tragedy.

Personal look at Germany between the World Wars

I love Gerald Lund's books, but this series was fascinating. It pulls you in at the beginning and holds you through to the end. Wonderful details about the lives of the characters make them seem real and personal.
