As the Emma Trilogy begins, Emma Dalton is eager to have a memorable summer before starting college at BYU, and she gets her wish. Emma's desire to uncover the truth about a mysterious ancestor sends her on an errand for the Lord in a place she's never imagined- the untamed West of the 1860s. A chance meeting with Brigham Young puts her on track to find the answers she seeks, and his guidance helps her locate her ancestors. But to unlock her secret, she must first survive a dangerous trip to lawless Denver and escape evil men seeking to destroy her mission.

This review is from: An Errand for Emma (The Emma Trilogy, 1) (Paperback)
I did not exactly want to beat my head against a brick wall wilst reading this book, but it still left a lot to be desired. Another sample of LDS fiction that tries to be nothing more than a book involving LDS themes. It's especially sad when one considers that so much more could have been done with it.
Emma is your typical modern Mormon girl, struggling with faith and all the usual problems of contemporary LDS life but without any of realism and emotion. Through strange occurances she is transported back into the past where she finds a way to solve a geneaology mystery. It's a cute enough story, and that plot isn't horrible, but the characters are so flat and the story so contrived that it's difficult to be half-way impressed.
