What would it have been like for the Prophet Joseph Smith's niece to be in Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1844, when her father and uncle were martyred? Based on carefully-researched actual events, this intriguing story centers on Lovina Smith's blossoming romance with Lorin Walker, a stalwart young man who had come to live at the Mansion House with his nine brothers and sisters when his mother died. Amid fierce anti-Mormon sentiment, Lovina tries to help a friend by briefly encouraging a gentile suitor - a plan that nearly costs her Lorin's devotion and her own reputation.
