Synopsis
When federal marshals seized Charles Ora Card inside his Logan home, it set off a chain of events that would drive families into hiding and reshape Latter-day Saint history.
This is the true, human story of the Mormon Underground.
Based on true events and drawn from the journals and writings of Charles Ora Card and other firsthand histories, American Exiles: Saints in Shadows brings to life the peril faced by Latter-day Saints in 1886, where faith, family, and duty collided under federal persecution.
Blending authentic diaries, letters, and family memory, this novel reveals a story of families forced into secrecy, of faith pushed to its limits, and of a leader whose path would ultimately turn north—toward an untested frontier and the hope of refuge.
As federal marshals close in on Logan, Charles Ora Card—stake president, community leader, husband, and father—must protect those he loves while remaining true to the covenants that define his life. What follows is a deeply human journey of arrests and escapes, hidden homes and midnight flights, and the strain placed on wives and children who must flee or conceal themselves.
Through the eyes of Charles and his wives—Zina Young Williams Card, Sarah Jane Painter Card, and Lavinia Rigby Card—along with other historic figures, this sweeping novel portrays the unseen sacrifices of nineteenth-century Latter-day Saint women and men. Their courage forged spiritual resilience, shaped new settlements, and helped carve a refuge across the Canadian border.
A story of conviction, exile, and the hidden heroes behind the history.
Perfect for readers who love:LDS historical fiction based on real people

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Larson, Deanna (illustrateur). Paperback. Utah, 1886. The canyons of Cache Valley offer little refuge from the storm of arrests. Deputy marshals hunt husbands from their homes. Families scatter into the shadows. The federal government prepares to strip a church of its property-and a people of their future. Faith itself stands on trial.Caught in the middle is Charles Ora Card-community leader, husband, father, and fugitive. Forced into hiding, Charles moves by night through a shadow network of safehouses, torn between loyalty to his congregations and the peril closing in on him and his household. When a cryptic letter arrives hinting at a refuge in the Canadian wilderness, he must decide whether to risk everything on an untested frontier.American Exiles: Saints in Shadows blends authentic diaries, letters, and family memory into a gripping novel of love, betrayal, resilience and conviction. It is the story of families driven underground, of faith pressed to its limits by the law, and of a leader whose path will point north-toward an untested frontier and the possibility of a new beginning.
