We are the people of Lehi, who left the land of Jerusalem at Jehovah's command. We have a story, a story most strange and marvelous. I am Neferure. I am not a prophetess or a dreamer of dreams, but I am a weaver of words. I tell what I saw with my own eyes, and I write what the Spirit whispered to my listening heart.
So begins the saga of Neferure, a woman whose courageous spirit and indomitable will must sustain her as her people struggle to establish a new land. torn between Shemnon, whom she has loved since childhood, and Himni, who is of her faith, she comes to learn the power challenges have to strengthen or to destroy. Faith, love, loss, and joy in the gospel all are elements of this epic tale that captures the emotions and drama of Book of Mormon peoples and events.
