Hearts Afire, Vol. 1: At All Hazards
When Eliza and Billy Foreman are called on a mission to settle the San Juan country of southeastern Utah Territory, Eliza doesn’t know what to do. A native of London, England, she considers herself a lady, much too fine to be pioneering in a howling wilderness inhabited by outlaws, Texicans, and two separate tribes of warlike Indians. To matters worse, her later-in-life marriage to Billy has proven a terrible embarrassment, and it seems doomed to failure.
Although a goodhearted soul, the timid Billy has spent his life as a backroom clerk and has no notion of how to hitch a team, ride a horse, or even milk a cow. How, she reason, can he possible move them and their belongings to the new community they’ve been called to help establish. especially since a good portion of their route has been unexplored, will cross the 2,000 foot deep Colorado river gorge through a narrow crevice that will soon be called Hole-in-the-Rock, and will then continue over perhaps the most desolate and difficult terrain for a wagon road in all of North America?
Meanwhile, on the San Juan, how will cattle ranchers such as Joshua "Spud" Hudson or I.W. Lacy react to this group who is coming to settle "their" range? Or outlaws, who crave this lawless region and are determined to take advantage of anyone who comes near? And what of the original settlers, the Navajos and Pahutes, whose cultures and territories are firmly established and who have already had too many negative experiences with white intruders?
In book one of the series Hearts Afire, master storyteller Blaine M. Yorgason spins an endearing historical tale about the coming together in the wild San Juan country of all these people-a tale of adventure, of danger and intrigue, and, most especially, of love.
Hearts Afire, Vol. 2: Fort on the Firing Line
The action-packed adventure saga from best-selling author Blaine M. Yorgason continues in the second volume of the Hearts Afire trilogy—Fort on the Firing Line. The harsh environment of Utah’s San Juan region in the late 1800s provides the backdrop to the Mormon settlement of Bluff Fort. The missionaries struggle with the rest of the settlers to tame an untamed land and fulfill their callings. But lack of proper irrigation, Indian raids, and livestock theft don’t make their missions any easier. Discover how these persistent early Saints met these and other insurmountable challenges with faith and devotion in this historical novel.
Hearts Afire, Vol. 3: Curly Bill’s Gift
It’s 1881, and the plight of the Saints sent to colonize southeastern Utah weighs heavily on the heart and mind of apostle Erastus Snow. Enduring heat, drought, wind, failed crops, and chronic poverty, the embattled citizens of Bluff Fort are also plagued by Indian depredations and infestations of vicious outlaws.
At the heart of this struggle to survive are Billy and Eliza Foreman and their infant son, Willy. Nearly paralyzed by her fear of the evil Indian, Posey, Eliza must battle poor health, discouragement, and the aftermath of a personal loss she can hardly bear. Matters are made worse when her husband has to seek employment over the winder away from the fort. With so much adversity, she and the other members of the Church face a stern test of their faith and courage.
