Over the years, Ariana and Jean-Marc Perrault have endured many challenges and experienced great joy while raising their six children in the gospel. Now as their three daughters mature into adults, they must watch the young women struggle with their own heartaches and choices:

Josette
Beautiful, willful Josette Perrault has a passion for life and a desire to enjoy herself. Yet the glitter and the whirl of her social life does little to satisfy the needs of her heart. She doubts she will ever find someone who will think of her as more than just a beautiful face-until a tragedy helps her understand what it is that keeps her from finding true love.

Marie-Thérèse
Marie-Thérèse has a sensible head on her shoulders. Unlike her sister, Josette, she has always known exactly what she wants from life-college, a mission, and then a temple marriage and children. But sometimes love comes along when least expected. Now she has to make a choice-will it be the right one?

Pauline
At last Pauline has found her first and true love, Emeri Fauré. But she was born HIV-positive, and, after sixteen years of miracles, has become seriously ill. How can her family bear to let her go? Worse, how can she make Emeri see past his bitterness long enough to understand that only the gospel holds the key to their future?

Join the Perrault family as together they face life's darkest moments and its sweetest joys. Best-selling author Rachel Ann Nunes masterfully brings us A Glimpse of Eternity.

Fleeing Babylon, AUTHOR: Tom Roulstone, CATEGORY: Fiction

Fleeing Babylon continues the adventures of Deirdre O'Connor and Josh Logan begun in the best-selling novel One Against the Wilderness.

In the spring of 1850 Deirdre and Josh's wedding plans are abruptly interrupted when Josh is called to the Society Island Mission (French Polynesia). President Young also calls Deirdre to teach school in California; hence the first part of the sequel chronicles Deirde and Josh's trek along the California Trail at the height of the Gold Rush.

After Josh leaves for Tahiti, Deirdre renews her affluent life with her father. Unlike Boston, however, San Francisco in 1850 is filled with gamblers, drunkards, thieves, prostitutes and vigilantes - the Babylon of the title.

Deirdre, who fears for her father, Kevin, who is caught up in the steamy city life, and for her own spirituality, pleads with her father to take her back to the Valley of the Great Salt Lake. Kevin finally agrees, but his participation with Sam Brannan in a vigilante movement delays the flight over the mountains.

When Deirdre and her father do leave San Francisco, it is under a cloak of mystery. Why is Kevin in such a hurry to get away? Who is dogging their trail over the Sierras?

The answers to these questions unfold as the story builds to an exciting climax. If you liked One Against the Wilderness, you'll love Fleeing Babylon.

A Heartbeat Away, AUTHOR: Rachel Ann Nunes, CATEGORY: LDS Fiction

Key Features:

• This emotional story about young Kristin Marshall provides a sense of healing to grieving hearts.
• A compelling novel that evolved from the real-life abductions that have haunted our nation.

You think it’s never going to happen to you. I know because that’s how I was—untouchable. Bad things only happen to someone else. Or if something bad actually did happen, it was always something the doctor could fix with fiberglass or a pill.
That’s the way it was with my family—at least until the year I turned thirteen.

When their young daughter, Kristin, is kidnapped, Gary and Angie Marshall struggle to make sense of the unthinkable. Who could do such a thing? And why Kristin? As more time passes in their desperate search for their daughter, their hopes slowly dwindle. They are left with “if only's” and a glaring uncertainty that damages their marriage and their relationships with their other children, especially their oldest daughter, Meghan.

Meanwhile, Kristin is having new experiences of her own. Her first assignment in her new “life” is to heal the hearts of her family. But doing so turns out to be more of a challenge than she ever expected. How can she get them to let her go so they can all find happiness? Or can there ever be healing after such a devastating trial?

Looming above them all is the question—who is responsible for Kristin’s disappearance? Is it their beloved uncle? Their neighbor Dale Loveridge, who once dated Angie Marshall? Or is it Jay, the young man with a colorful past? Or perhaps someone else entirely?

Time is running out. As she blames herself for Kristin’s disappearance, Meghan turns down a road that can only lead to more unhappiness. Kristin must find a way to help her sister find healing—and perhaps love.

Rachel Ann Nunes has taken a difficult subject and woven intrigue, romance, and joy to create a story with realistic characters who will live in your mind for years to come.
