Description

Seventeen-year-old Sarah's father went on a business trip to New York a normal man, and returned home a Mormon. Sarah's mother was irate, to say the least, at his conversion, and further angered by his announcement that they were moving to the Great Basin to live with the other Saints. Much to her shock and dismay, she discovered they would be joining the first-ever experimental handcart company, and pulling a cart across the Mormon Trail to their new home. Little did Sarah realize, that halfway across Nebraska, her father would lose his life and her mother would fall apart. It would be up to her to take on the parental role, and lead her mother and three younger siblings to the Salt Lake Valley. With every step they took, they wondered if they would be able to make it there alive.Join Sarah, and her family, as they struggle to make it through the wilderness on their way to Zion. Follow their conversion to Mormonism, as they fight to keep from joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.South Pass is a series of books that follows Sarah and the Forbes family from Pennsylvania to Zion.
