Beyond This Valley

By Millie Chidester

The year is 1849, and the frenzied rush to the California gold fields is gaining momentum. Salt Lake City, in the territory of Utah, is a welcome spot of civilization where the emigrants can pause and refresh before continuing the long journey to the west coast. Many and varied are the characters that pass through the city, impacting the residents, both positively and negatively. Eighteen-year-old Julia Colbertson is sought after by one of the gold seekers. At the same time, she finds herself the object of interest to the tormentor of her youth, who has recently emigrated from their former home in Nauvoo, Illinois. Just when Julia thinks she has settled upon the perfect choice in the way of suitors, someone else, through a series of improbable circumstances, comes into her life. Her tolerance and her willingness to forgive are tested, while she gradually comes to understand her own heart.
