Step into a world of near-impossibility

These odd, amazing pioneer stories will leave you alternately laughing and shaking your head in wonder. Besides being uplifting and inspirational, these unusual stories are sprinkled with humor.

Read about:

a funeral for a person's body part
a crop planted too late that turned out to be just in time
an unusual cure for a baby's vivid red birthmark
creative spiders and snakes, and some geese that lost their feathers

'These remarkable stories about the early settlers of Utah deal with unusual hardship, yet are laced with humor. I couldn't keep from smiling as amazing dilemmas found unique solutions. I marveled at the odd, sometimes dangerous situations, losing myself in true stories that read more like great fiction.

'These stories are not only faith-promoting, but entertaining as well-an exceptional quality that is not easy to find.'

Merrill Osmond, entertainer

This is a brilliant, touching book of well-written true pioneer stories brought to vivd life by the talent of Shirley Balhmann. I'll have to get every book in the series! I was moved to laughter and tears, amazed and moved at the sacrifices and simple faith of the early Saints, and the miracles wrought in their lives.
