"Claire Nicol, her friends and family have escaped the anti-Mormon persecutions in Nauvoo and have begun the journey to the Missouri River. But all is not well with the party of travelers. There is sickness among the group. Polly Maughan, Claire's friend, is with child and is having trouble. Nathan, Polly's husband, is in dire straits himself. In a priesthood blessing the Lord promised to send angels to heal Polly, so anxieties about her are easily dismissed. But when Claire, Nathan and Polly are separated from the others and their wagon breaks down their fears return. Join Claire as she struggles to find help for Polly. Join her as she learns a little more about angels." --Publisher's summary
