By Dan Redford

Author: ?+ Dan Redford Description:

When her husband and son left to sell horses to the Nephite army, Rachel had no way of knowing that they had been captured and enslaved by the Lamanites. Now, nine years later, she is still watching from her window for two figures to trudge into view. She will never lose hope that they may someday return. Rachel's son, Jacob, has grown up as a slave in King Lamoni's household, caring for the king's horses and spending his free time with his only friend, Shayla, who happens to be King Lamoni's daughter. Jacob longs to return home with his father, but as time passes, he begins to lose hope of ever seeing his mother again. Jacob has yet to find out. From assassination attempts to conversions, his life is turned upside-down as he tries to figure out where his loyalties lie and what he truly believes.

Wonderful story about Ammon and the conversion story of lamanite king Lamoni

This a the conversion story of King Lamoni and his people told from the eyes of a sixteen year old. Jacob is not only a Nephite in the hands of the Lamanites but the kings servant alongside his father Samuel. When Jacob was 9 yrs old he left with his father to go on a buisness trip leaving his mother and sisters at home. Not long after they were captured by Lamanites andbrought before the king where they became in charge of the horses in the stable. Now seven years later they are still servants but Jacob has befriended the kings daughter, Princess Shayla. Soon the kings life is in peril by a group of traitors that surround the king as he checks on his horses. Jacob throws the king a sword he has illegaly harbored and ends up saving Lamonis life. Jacob is then appointed as the kings personel sword bearer.Not long after that Ammon comes and requests to tbe the kings servant the story we all know takes off. this is a wonderful way to learn about Ammon and his missionary story (and im talking about mor than cutting off all the arms!) This is agreats tory and i highly recommend it to everyone!
