It had always just been Sydney, Gracie and Mom, but when Mom is diagnosed with cancer - everthing changes. Her dad steps back into her life after 10 years of being out of it. Sydney's black belt in karate won't help her fight these battles. When a gift from a stranger takes her back in time to the land of Zarahemla, Sydney is faced with the threat of fighting in a real war. She has to prove to Captain Helaman that she isn't a threat, and prove to herself that she has enough strength, training, and faith to make it home to her family again.

I enjoyed this book. I have to tell you I wasn't thrilled to begin it, but after reading it I can honestly tell you it is a "page turner" that will keep you engaged from beginning to end. It has many scriptural characters and events. In many other books - too many references detract from the story - but in this book it added a new level. I highly recommend this book and I cannot wait for the sequel!
