True sisters [large print] / Sandra Dallas.
In order to encourage Mormon converts to immigrate to Salt Lake City, a plan was implemented by Brigham Young himself. Outfitted with two wheeled handcarts, the immigrants were then expected to walk, pulling the handcarts, for the 1,300 mile journey from Iowa City. Several "companies," as they were called, completed this perilous trek and successfully reached Salt Lake City. But for the Martin Company, the last group to leave from Iowa City that year, the trip proved disastrous. More than a quarter of the 575 members froze or starved to death. This is the story of four women, brought together on the harrowing journey of the Martin Handcart Company and united by the promises of prosperity and salvation in a new land. Through the ties of female friendship an the strength born from suffering, each one tests the bountaries of her faith and learns the real meaning of survival along the way.
