Lee Nelson Livres

This novel-based on Lee Nelson's actual LDS mission to Germany is a pleasing, uplifting journey of self-discovery. The plot twists and heart-touching scenes rival any of those found in the author's Storm Testament series. The powerful message will serve as motivation for young readers to serve missions themselves. Elder Spencer W. Kimball laid his warm, strong hands on my head and in a raspy voice, proceeded to set me apart as a missionary.

That promise weighed heavily on young Lee Nelson as he began his mission to Germany in the 1960s, but also served as a motivator for him in accomplishing the work of the Lord.

In 1923, Frank Clark headed into the wilderness to trap Old Ephraim, the most notorious grizzly the Utah mountains had ever seen. Ephraim literally waded through herds of sheep and cattle, as his powerful paws broke legs and backs and slung entrails in every direction. Defying the herdsman who invaded his historical domain, he overturned their steel traps, and dared theim to come get him with an impunity unparalleled in the history of the American West. What Clark didn't know was that Ephraim had a friend in, Danny Evans, who grew up with the grizzlies to become an elusive raider himself, until he was arrested by the law, schooled by an atheist, and courted by a stunning, young prophetess, while driven to find himself and the father he never knew. This is the story of a bear and a boy, and the forces that push them to the brink of tragedy and self-discovery.
