In Fire of the Covenant, a novel about the 1856 Willie and Martin Handcart Companies, Elder Lund weaves his fictional characters into the tapestry of actual historical events helping us feel a part of the companies who set out for Zion late in the season during the first year of the great handcart migration. Trapped by early winter snows in Wyoming, these Saints driven by the "fire of the covenant" they had made with God rose to heights of unsurpassed courage and endurance.
