Author Carol Rust Nash traces the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sometimes referred to as the Mormon Church. Examining the Church's roots in the vision of fourteen-year-old Joseph Smith, the book follows the Church through its years of persecution and its search for a place where its members could live in peace. Highlighting the Church's struggles for acceptance, it shows how the Latter-day Saints blazed the Mormon Trail to Utah, establishing a path west that would be followed by many later settlers. It also shows how the Church has grown and developed over the years after its establishment in Utah to become a religion with members in countries all over the world.
