Elizabeth Randolph is a newly baptized member of The Church of Christ of Latter-day Saints. She has left all she knows behind in Boston, Massachusetts to become a teacher in a one room schoolhouse in Grays Lake, Idaho. Elizabeth struggles to adjust to her new home and is starting to succeed when Alex Cannigan, an embittered, former soldier wounded in a battle in the First World War, crosses her doorstep.
Elizabeth attempts to help Alex overcome his pain by teaching him about God. As trust slowly develops between the two, a devastating pandemic sweeps the world killing millions. Alex and Elizabeth both learn that the only way to pull themselves from the darkness is to follow God into the light.

Awesome! I absolutely love the time period that this is set in. Sounds like another wonderful book.
I enjoyed this book very much. The historical portion of it was incredible- well researched and fascinating. The characters were very likable and the story was intriguing. I was very frustrated with the lack of communication and misunderstandings between the main characters and that distracted from the story at many points in the book. It was still a very good story and just seemed to need a better edit.
