Acerca de esta escucha

Dubbed by Jane Smiley a “quintessential American voice”, Sandra Dallas has won over fans everywhere and become a frequent fixture on the New York Times best-seller list. Based on 19th-century history, True Sisters follows four women who pin their hopes for the future on a plan devised by Brigham Young to bring emigrants to Salt Lake City. Pushing two-wheeled handcarts loaded with all their life’s belongings, the women set off on the 1,300-mile journey from Iowa City - and soon become fast friends even as perils mount around them.

Surviving nature and thoughtless leaders

TRUE SISTERS is a fictional account of a true event. Sandra Dallas has portrayed four women, and their families, as they take a real trip , in 1856, to cross 1,300 miles across America to reach the Mormon settlement in Salt Lake City, Utah. This group is following two others groups who have already crossed, but they are leaving too late for decent weather, and they are also going pushing handcarts which only allow them very view possessions. These handcarts also mean that everyone but the near dead, must walk the entire distance---through sickness, near starvation, frostbite, childbirth, and old age. Many will not survive the trip, but the church leaders berate anyone who wants to wait for better timing, with "you will burn in Hell because your faith isn't sufficient for you to REALLY be a Mormon!".

Four women are featured in this story. Their companionship holds them and their families together through these ordeals, and through deaths caused by the many hardships. I found these relationships to be quit compelling, as they grow in their abilities to think and survive as best they can, and learn to determine their own futures for themselves. Not being a Mormon myself, I found that part of this book less compelling. The men seemed overbearing and quit thoughtless at times, though there were a couple of "good guys" in the end. The story of the traveling, hardships, survival, and friendships is what made this book enjoyable for me.

Loved the Audible, Not the Language

The book was very interesting and true to life with what the Pioneers experienced. They are doing a book club in our Ward this month, so suggested this book as an option. I listened to it in the afternoon and found my husband liked it too. The only negative was some of the language, which was true for the events, but that bothered me. Our RS Presidency suggested it initially, but hadn't read it yet, so I am guessing after they started to read it, they rethought it and suggested a different book. I think because it was an audible and narrator spoke loudly, the language really stood out. Since many of the people reading it are LDS, that would be something I would rethink if I was the author. Maybe she could state there was bad language, etc. but leave the actual language itself off. That is why I couldn't give it 5 stars.

Good book

Good book but the time spent on the trail was a little too long. As horrific as it was, the reader is anxious for justice to be done for those evil men.

More realistic than most

Any additional comments?

The people were much more believable than most LDS novels I have read. Most characters are usually good or evil, but the people in this book were a mixture of both as normal people are. I really enjoyed this book and had trouble putting it down. I also LOVED that the story went all the way to the Salt Lake Valley instead of stopping when the rescuers arrived. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Not the usually Dallas...

Sandra Dallas has become my go-to in audio books because of her endearing characters and vivid stories, but this fell a bit short to me. I enjoyed learning about the Mormon migration by the book on a whole was depressing, without any real conclusion. I also found some of the accents to be distracting.

Fascinating historically accurate tale of the women who survived the handcart trail to Salt Lake City, the promised Mormon Zion.

Such an interesting recounting of the horrific challenges met by the women of the early church of Mormons, pulling and pushing handcarts across the country during the fall and winter. Astonishing courage and faith.

Not my cup of tea

I read other stories from this author. Loved them all. This one was different and I wasn’t dragged in the story.

Inspiring tale, great historical fiction!

What was one of the most memorable moments of True Sisters?

The strength of the women in the tale and the constant adversities.

Which scene was your favorite?

Crossing the river with their handcarts in the below freezing temperatures.

If you could rename True Sisters, what would you call it?

Perserverance through Adversity

Any additional comments?

I especially liked the women character who was not a mormon and her story of her travels and care for her family. How she had strength in herself to go on! This is an inspirational story of America.
