Synopsis

We do not doubt our mothers knew it.

Joash keeps goats in Melek, among a people who buried their swords under an oath to God. He has a sister he raised, a goat named Trouble, and a wife of one season. Then the war comes for the land that took his people in. The fathers are bound by that oath. The sons are not. Joash walks south behind his father-in-law’s grain cart, and he does not know that Anath is carrying his child. He marches with the two thousand under Helaman, boys whose mothers taught them that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them. Joash cannot say the words. He carries them unsaid through the siege of Cumeni, the stratagem at Manti and the hungry year. At home, raiders fall on Melek, and in the high fold above the town his son is born at first light. Anath writes him the letters she sends, and keeps the others in a cedar box. The record says that not one of them was slain. This is the story behind that sentence, of the wounds each of them carried and the friends no promise covered. The road home ends at a street, a step and a door.

Book 5 of The Buried and the Kept: a goatherd who cannot say the words, a wife on the step, and a boy who has never heard his father say his name.
