The story focuses on moments in the life of a pioneering community in the Old West, particularly exploring their struggles with persecution and the quest for a promised land, as depicted through the experiences of its central character, Joel Rae. The narrative touches on themes of faith, sacrifice, and identity against the backdrop of a frontier filled with both hope and danger. At the start of the book, the narrative paints a haunting picture of a deserted city, once vibrant but now eerily silent and lifeless. Young Joel Rae arrives to find the streets empty and the signs of a recent exodus evident, triggering feelings of anxiety and confusion. As he explores, he encounters a hostile environment shaped by recent mob violence against his community, highlighting the precarious circumstances faced by the Saints, which include displacement and the dire consequences of their beliefs. In his efforts to piece together what has happened, Joel's encounters reveal both personal and collective struggles as he grapples with his identity, love, and responsibilities to his family and faith. The opening sets the stage for a tale of resilience amidst adversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 76.2 (7th grade).
