Summary:

"Camilla Fox is alive, having been rescued from a near-fatal snowstorm after leaving her home to escape the Mormon faith she no longer calls her own. Now, as she regains her strength under the personal care of United States Army Colonel Charles Brandon, thoughts of the two children she left behind flood her mind, threatening to break her heart. Camilla is desperate to reunite with her daughters and does not want them to grow up under Mormon teachings, but she cannot provide a home for them on her own, and she will not share her husband with a sister wife. As spring arrives, Camilla returns to Salt Lake City ready to fight . . . and she won't back down until she's brought her children safely to the other side."--P. [4] of cover.

Camilla Fox (For Time and Eternity) has fled her home and her Mormon faith, leaving two daughters behind. Lost in a storm, she is rescued by the 5th Infantry Regiment and taken under the wing of Capt. Charles Brandon. When she learns of her father's illness, she knows she must return to Salt Lake City in the hopes of reconciling with him. VERDICT Once again Pittman tells an engaging story in which the characters are moved to examine their faith and make difficult decisions. Readers who enjoy CF dealing with family relationships and crises of faith will appreciate it. (c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
