When two American Missionaries visit the English village of Throstleford in the early 1840s, they forever change the life of the village — and of the villagers. Esther Grey and her father, the local vicar, are the first to receive copies of the Book of Mormon. Both recognize truth in the book, but recoil from the challenges this knowledge brings. Esther knows that accepting the message would be a betrayal of her dear father. Yet how can she deny the truth that burns in her heart? Permeated with faith, charm, and romance, Throstleford is a sensitive, finely-drawn novel that brings to life the wondrous power of testimony, the real meaning of struggle, and the value of a sanctuary you can call your own.
