Description

A vivid memoir unfolds the early life of a young Latter‑day Saint growing up in Victorian England, where family expectations clash with a newfound faith. Through candid recollections of home, school, and an earnest interview with a Baptist minister, the narrative sketches the earnest curiosity that spurs the protagonist toward the church and its promises of a brighter future.

The story then follows his determined, often perilous, attempts to join fellow believers on the journey westward. From secret meetings with fellow Saints to a harrowing arrest by Thames police, each episode reveals the blend of youthful resolve and divine encouragement that keeps him moving forward. Shipboard voyages, sudden setbacks, and moments of unexpected kindness illustrate how faith can turn obstacles into stepping stones, offering listeners both historical insight and timeless encouragement.
