Welcome to the Seeking Zion Series, a captivating collection of LDS historical fiction that explores the trials, triumphs, and unwavering faith of Latter-day Saint women. Readers will embark on a journey through the early days of the Church, from the bustling city of Nauvoo to the perilous trails heading west. Each novel delves into the complexities of love, family, and forgiveness, as these women navigate the challenges of their time and learn to trust in the Lord’s will.
In 1845, the once-thriving city of Nauvoo, Illinois, faces an uncertain future as mobs threaten to burn it to the ground if the Latter-day Saints don’t leave.
Goodbye, Nauvoo is based on the true story of three Latter-day Saint women: Martha, a young mother who wants nothing more than to see the completion of the Nauvoo temple and to keep her family together; Lydia, who doesn’t believe she could ever let herself love again after the death of her husband Danny; and Lucy, who wrestles with her own past demons as she struggles to parent her daughters. All three women learn about love, family, and forgiveness in a town they can no longer call home.
